| Reverse description | Central field features a bold voided cross pattee with splayed, concave arms, each terminating in small trefoil or crosslet finials, set within a four-lobed cusped or quatrefoil frame composed of curved arcs, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. This cross design is the hallmark of the Genoese gold ducat reverse, derived from the traditional genovino type. The surrounding legend, rendered in Gothic uncial lettering, invokes the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad as nominal suzerain, a convention maintained on Genoese coinage long after its original political relevance had lapsed. A beaded outer border encircles the entire design. |
