| Obverse lettering | SEDE VACAN MDCCXXXX (Translation: Vacant Seat 1740) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents the denomination inscription in four bold lines across the central field, reading VN / BAIOCCO / ROM· / 1740, indicating one Roman baiocco struck at the Rome Mint. The lettering is framed by an elaborate Baroque cartouche of scrolling acanthus foliage and volutes, enclosing the text in a decorative manner characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century papal copper coinage. A mintmaster's mark appears at the base of the cartouche. The overall composition is spare and legible, with the denomination taking clear precedence over decorative elements. |
