| Obverse description | Draped bust of Charles I, Duke of Mantua and Sovereign of Arches, facing right, with curled hair and lace collar, set within a beaded inner circle. The portrait is rendered in a bold, slightly crude style characteristic of provincial hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading CHARLES°I°DVC°DE°MANT°S°DAR°, identifying the issuer as Charles I, Duke of Mantua and Sovereign of Arches. The field is plain, and the overall fabric is typical of small copper issues struck at Charleville. |
