| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope Innocent XII facing right, wearing a camauro and papal vestments with elaborate lace mozetta, depicted in high relief with naturalistic portrait features. The legend INNOCEN XII • P • M • A • II arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1692 placed in the lower field beneath the truncation. A small fleur-de-lis ornament appears at the top of the field. The portrait is rendered in the baroque style typical of late 17th-century papal coinage, with fine drapery detail on the shoulder and collar. |

| Reverse description | Ornate interlaced monogram composed of the letters P, L, and C in elaborate baroque cursive script, heavily entwined with scrolling foliate and floral flourishes filling the entire field. The monogram, standing for Pietro Legate of Comtat (Pietro Ottoboni, Papal Legate), is rendered in a highly decorative interlaced style characteristic of late 17th-century ecclesiastical engraving. The design occupies virtually the entire reverse field, with no surrounding legend, and is bordered by a continuous beaded inner circle and a milled edge. |
