Beschrijving keerzijde Mid-length bust of Saint Terence facing right, depicted in episcopal or martyr's vestments, holding a palm frond in his right hand as a symbol of martyrdom and a model of the city of Pesaro in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a simple, stylized manner consistent with hammered coinage of the Italian Renaissance period. A circular Latin legend in uncial script surrounds the bust, identifying the saint. The reverse type reflects the civic and religious patronage of Pesaro under Costanzo Sforza.

Aanvullende informatie

Costanzo Sforza ruled Pesaro as a papal vicar, a status that technically subordinated his coinage authority to Rome but in practice gave him near-total control over the city's mint. The soldino was the workhorse denomination of northern Italian commerce in this period — small, frequently clipped, and perpetually underweight in circulation. Costanzo's issues are notable for their tight production window: he died in 1483 without a legitimate heir, and Pesaro passed to Giovanni Sforza, whose own coinage broke sharply from this series.
