| Reverse description | The Visconti biscione (biscia), the heraldic serpent devouring a child, is depicted coiled within a reeded inner circle, serving as the dynastic emblem of the Sforza-Visconti rulers of Milan. The letter G is visible to the left of the serpent in the field. The surrounding Gothic legend, interrupted by pellet stops, continues the titulature of Galeazzo Maria Sforza. The design reflects the established iconographic tradition of Milanese coinage, with the biscia rendered in bold relief on the irregular hammered flan. |
