| Obverse description | Central field displays the elaborate papal coat of arms of Clement XIV (Giovanni Vincenzo Antonio Ganganelli), composed of a quartered escutcheon bearing a cross, stars, and an open book, surrounded by ornate Baroque scrollwork and foliate mantling. Above the shield, the papal tiara with three crowns surmounts the crossed keys of Saint Peter, symbols of pontifical authority. The circular legend CLEMENS XIV to the left and PONT. MAX. A. IV. to the right reads along the inner border, denoting the pope's title and his fourth regnal year. The coin's milled border frames the entire composition with a fine toothed edge. The engraving is executed in the refined Baroque style characteristic of the Roman Mint's output in the late eighteenth century. |
