| Reverse description | Central device consists of an ornate cross fleury or cross with floral terminals, with the four arms separated by crescent-shaped embellishments, creating a decorative cruciform composition typical of Italian feudal coinage. The field surrounding the cross is plain copper. The circular Latin legend SALVS MVNDI, meaning 'Savior of the World,' is distributed around the cross, with the letters arranged in the upper and lower portions of the coin, enclosed within a beaded border. The overall execution reflects the irregular, hand-struck character of small-denomination copper issues from Piacenza. |
