| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the papal arms of Innocent VIII displayed on a horse-head shaped shield set within an oval or quadrilobe frame. The shield is surmounted by the papal tiara (triregnum) and flanked by the crossed Keys of Saint Peter, all rendered in the hammered style typical of late 15th-century Italian papal coinage. The heraldic charges on the shield are characteristic of the Cybo family arms. The circular Latin legend surrounds the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | Saint Peter, depicted leaning from a boat, draws in a fishing net from turbulent waters, with waves rising behind him. The scene is rendered in a lively, narrative style characteristic of Renaissance-era papal Florentine-type coinage struck at Macerata. The circular Latin legend is divided by a mintmaster's mark and references both the saint and the issuing territory of the March of Ancona. The composition fills the field with dynamic movement, distinguishing this type from the more static Florentine prototypes. |
