| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large, stylized Florentine lily (giglio), rendered in high relief with elaborate foliate scrollwork and curling petals characteristic of mid-14th-century Tuscan die-cutting. The lily rises from a bulbous base and spreads into three prominent lobes, each richly detailed with acanthus-like foliage. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a wide circular legend reading ✠ DET• TIBI• FLORERE XPS• FLORENTIĀ VERE, invoking Christ's blessing upon the city of Florence. The lettering is executed in Gothic majuscules with lozenge-shaped stops between words. |
