Description:
|
Saint Crescentinus (Italian: San Crescentino) is the patron saint of Urbino. Venerated as a warrior saint, he is sometimes depicted on horseback, killing a dragon, in the same manner as Saint George. The coin known as the armellino (and popularly as the volpetta) issued by the Duke of Urbino, Francesco Maria I della Rovere, featured Saint Crescentinus on horseback.
