| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal coat of arms of Benedict XIV, featuring a vertically striped shield surmounted by the papal tiara (triregnum) and the crossed keys of Saint Peter, one gold and one silver, tied with a cord. The arms are presented within an ornate cartouche framed by rope-like borders. The circular legend reading BENEDIC XIV P M A I runs along the periphery, divided on either side of the shield. The coin is struck within a raised milled border of fine beading. |
