Reverse description Central field features an ornate cross pattée with flared, concave arms set within a quadrilobe or quatre-foil decorative frame formed by four interlocking arcs, a design characteristic of Genoese ducats of the period. Small pellets or annulets appear in the angles of the cross and within the lobes. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding legend, which runs in uncial Latin characters naming Conrad, King of the Romans — a traditional formulaic invocation carried on Genoese gold coinage long after its original political relevance had lapsed. The mintmaster's initial B appears at the end of the reverse legend, identifying the issuing officer for this emission.
