| Obverse description | Obverse depicts Saint George, patron and protector of Ferrara, rendered in a stylized baroque manner within the central field. The figure appears in armored form consistent with the iconographic tradition of the saint. The encircling legend reads S GEORGIVS PROT FERRÆ, identifying Saint George as Protector of Ferrara, executed in Latin capitals. The coin shows wear consistent with circulation, with details softened but the composition remaining legible. The overall design reflects the provincial ecclesiastical minting style of early 18th-century Ferrara. |
