| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, letters are arranged in cruciform fashion to form a cross composed of individual characters, a distinctive type associated with the invocation of the imperial patron saint. Small stars or pellets punctuate the quadrants formed by the arms of the cross. The surrounding legend, running between the inner beaded circle and the outer rim, invokes the Emperor Saint Gaudentius, patron of Novara, in an abbreviated inscription typical of late medieval communal denarri of the Po plain. |
