| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized Genoese castle (castello) rendered in crudely struck relief, with the characteristic crenellated towers of the Commune of Genoa. The letters F, C, A, and A appear arranged in the four quadrants around the castle device, serving as an abbreviation for 'Caffa' and identifying the issuing city. The design is characteristic of the hammered copper coinage struck for Genoese colonial commerce in the Black Sea region, with an irregular flan and somewhat weak strike typical of the series. |
