| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Greek word ΟΛΥΜΠΟΣ (Olympus), the personal impresa of Frederick II, set in two lines across the central field: ΟΛΥΜ on the upper line and ΠΟΣ on the lower. Two crossed leafy branches appear above the inscription as a decorative device, and a trefoil ornament is placed below. The coin is bordered by a beaded inner circle, and the overall design is bold and emblematic in character, reflecting the humanist tastes of the Gonzaga court. |
