| Reverse description | Central field presents a schematic facing bust of Virgil, the celebrated Roman poet and patron figure of Mantua, wearing a beret or cap, rendered in the crude but expressive style typical of late 14th to early 15th century hammered billon coinage. The bust is contained within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner border, invoking Virgil as symbol of the city, while the outer rim bears a toothed edge consistent with the hammered fabric of the coin. |
