| Obverse description | High-relief scenic composition depicting the Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci as a bearded bust in a circular medallion at upper left, overlaid on a narrative scene showing his landing party arriving by longboat on a rocky shore, with a group of indigenous figures — some armed with bows and spears — watching from the left foreground. Rocky peaks rise in the background at right, evoking the coastline of South America. An engraver's monogram appears in the lower right field. |
