The obverse depicts noted and familiar historic buildings of the city of Bergamo in the upper row, such as the Torre del Galgario, the Baptistery of the Cathedral, Porta San Giacomo, and the Palazzo della Ragione. In the centre row, are depicted historic buildings of the city of Brescia, such as the castle known as the Falcone of Italy, the Palazzo della Loggia, and the Capitolium.
