| Reverse description | Central field displays a cross with splayed or ornate arms, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, consistent with the iconographic tradition of medieval Italian feudal half-deniers. The partial legend + TRIVLTI • ... in Latin script runs around the circumference, representing an abbreviated form of the Trivulzio family name. The strike is weak in areas, reflecting the irregular copper flan and hand-hammered production technique typical of small-denomination coinage from the Mesocco mint. |
