| Obverse description | Central floriated cross with decorated arms occupying the majority of the field, the terminals of each arm adorned with floral or foliate motifs. A circular Latin legend surrounds the cross, reading the ruler's abbreviated titles, enclosed within a beaded border. The die-work is characteristic of mid-16th-century Italian hammered coinage, with irregular flan edges typical of the period. |

| Reverse description | Four-line Latin inscription arranged horizontally across the field, reading MAR / NOVAR / IAE / I, denoting the ruler's title as first Marquess of Novara. The inscription is enclosed within a laurel or olive wreath, with a beaded border circumscribing the entire design. The lettering is rendered in the bold, slightly irregular Roman capitals typical of hammered billon coinage of the Italian Renaissance period. |
