Obverse description	Three-line Latin inscription in the field, reading FR • E / • M • M / AS, abbreviating the name and title of Francesco d'Este, Marquis of Massa. A marquial crown surmounts the inscription above. The entire device is encircled by a beaded or wreath border running along the coin's periphery, consistent with the crude hammered style typical of minor Italian States coinage of the sixteenth century.
