| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal arms of Pius III — a quartered shield bearing crescents on a crosshatched ground — surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys, all set within a plain inner circle. The shield is rendered in fine relief with six crescent charges distributed across the four quarters in a characteristic hammered style. A beaded border runs along the coin's outer edge. The surrounding circular legend in Roman capitals reads PIVS PAPA TERTIVS, identifying the pontiff as Pope Pius III. |

| Reverse description | Saint Peter is depicted standing to the left within a boat, actively casting a fishing net, his haloed figure rendered in high relief with draped robes and a boldly modelled beard. The vessel is shown in profile with decorative oar-ports along its hull, riding stylised waves in the lower field. A papal shield is visible within the boat. The encircling legend in Roman capitals reads SANCTVS PETRVS ALMA ROM, invoking Saint Peter as patron of Rome, with a beaded border framing the entire composition. |
