Obverse description	Draped bust of Francesco d'Este facing left, depicted with period costume and naturalistically rendered hair, occupying the central field. The portrait is executed in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of minor Italian Renaissance coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading FRAN • EST • MAR • MASSE, abbreviating the ruler's name and title as Marquis of Massa.
