| Obverse description | Frontal ducal effigy rendered in a naturalistic Romanesque style, depicted facing forward with a raised sword held upright in the left hand and a banner or gonfalon grasped in the bent right hand. The bust is presented in high relief characteristic of early medieval hammered coinage, with stylized drapery suggesting ducal regalia. The figure occupies the central field of the flan, with no surrounding legend. |
