| Obverse description | Central field depicts an armored knight on horseback facing left at full gallop, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude medieval style typical of late medieval Italian hammered coinage. The horse is shown with raised forelegs, and the rider appears in full armor. The circular legend surrounding the equestrian device reads DE ANCO NA, separated by floral rosette stops, identifying the issuing commune of Ancona. A beaded inner border frames the inscription, with an additional beaded outer border running along the coin's edge. |
