| Obverse description | Central field displays an upright flowering lily plant — the heraldic emblem of the Boncompagni family and symbol associated with Bologna — rising from a short horizontal baseline, with two blooms rendered in relief. The surrounding circular legend is struck in Latin capital letters separated by star stops, enclosed within a toothed border. The date appears in the lower exergue beneath the baseline. The overall design is characteristic of the plain, emblematic style employed at the Bologna Mint for Papal copper coinage of the late eighteenth century. |
