| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal coat of arms of Pope Benedict XIV, comprising a shield surmounted by the papal tiara (triple crown) with crossed keys, rendered in moderate relief. The arms feature a harp as the principal charge on the shield, a distinctive heraldic element associated with the Lambertini family. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the rim, separated by small decorative stops, identifying the pontiff by name, title, and regnal year. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line inscription in the central field stating the denomination, mint city, and date, with the date numerals divided to the left and right of the heraldic arms of Cardinal Camillo Paolucci, the papal legate of Ferrara. The arms of the legate are flanked by decorative palm branches, serving as lateral ornaments. The overall design is plain and typographic in character, consistent with the utilitarian copper coinage of the Papal States in the mid-eighteenth century. |
