Obverse description Central papal coat of arms surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter, the emblems of the pontifical office. The shield displays the Braschi family arms of Pope Pius VI, decorated with ornamental foliate scrollwork and six-pointed stars in the field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, giving the pope's name, title, and regnal year. The coin's border features a toothed or milled rim characteristic of Papal States copper coinage of the late eighteenth century.

Reverse description Three lines of bold Roman-style Latin inscription reading 'VN BAIOCCO GVBBIO', denoting the denomination and the mint city of Gubbio, centered within the field and enclosed by a continuous wreath of laurel or olive leaves tied at the base. The border is defined by a toothed milled rim consistent with the obverse. The plain field and straightforward typographic layout are typical of Papal States minor copper coinage issued for local circulation.
