| Reverse description | Central field features a bust of Saint Antoninus in right profile, depicted in ecclesiastical robes with a visible collar, rendered in the conventional late medieval Italian style with relatively bold but roughly executed relief. The legend surrounding the bust reads SA٠ ANTONINVS, identifying the subject. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. The overall composition reflects the anonymous civic coinage tradition of Piacenza under papal suzerainty during the pontificate of Adrian VI. |
