| Obverse description | A Genoese city gate (porta) is depicted in the field, surmounted by the Visconti biscione — a coiled serpent devouring a figure — serving as a dynastic emblem of Philip Maria Visconti's lordship over Genoa. The device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in uncial Latin characters, identifies the issuing lord as Philip Maria, Duke of Milan and Lord of the Genoese. The overall design reflects the hybrid civic and seigneurial authority exercised over the Republic during this period. |
