Francesco III Gonzaga, 1533-1550, 2nd Duke of Mantua [obverse]
The image shows a relief portrait of a young child facing left. The child has short, curly hair and delicate facial features. The material appears metallic, possibly silver, with a shiny texture and greyish color. The sculpture is circular with inscriptions around the border, including "MAN.IE" and "FRANC-DVX." The style and craftsmanship suggest historical significance and attention to detail.
