| Obverse description | Papal arms of Clement XI displayed on an ornate heraldic shield, surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys, the traditional symbols of the pontificate. The shield is flanked by elaborate scrollwork and laurel branches in high relief. The circular legend reads CLEMENS·XI around the right and PONT·MAX·A·I around the left, denoting his pontifical title and regnal year. The coin is struck within a reeded border, and the overall design reflects the refined baroque engraving style characteristic of early eighteenth-century Roman papal coinage. |

The entire design is framed by a reeded border, with the cartouche filling the full field of the reverse in a bold and legible arrangement. |
