| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Gaudentius, patron of Novara, depicted as a bishop wearing liturgical vestments and a mitre. The saint holds a crozier in his left hand while his right hand is raised in benediction. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, flat style characteristic of hammered Renaissance coinage, standing within a plain field. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the central image, with decorative stops separating the words. |
