Obverse lettering ✠ DVX : IANVENSIVM : QVINT`. S
(Translation: Fifth Doge of Genoa)
Reverse description Central field features a plain, bold Latin cross with slightly splayed arms, set within a beaded inner circle adorned with quatrefoil rosettes in a cusped lobed frame matching the obverse design. The spaces between the cross arms are decorated with additional rosette ornaments, lending a refined Gothic aesthetic to the composition. A radiating lozenge pattern fills the field between the inner and outer borders. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin reads CONRADVS REX ROMANORVM, invoking the traditional Genoese monetary authority of Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor, with a mintmaster's letter visible in the legend.
