Reverse description	A flowering plant or ornamental flower pot depicted in the center of the field, with foliage or blossoms rising from a structured vase or urn base, serving as a heraldic or civic emblem associated with the Este lordship of Massa Lombarda. The motif is enclosed within a wreath or beaded border encircling the entire design. The execution is characteristically rough and somewhat irregular, reflecting the primitive hammered technique employed for this small-denomination billon issue.
