| Obverse description | Papal coat of arms of Clement XIII (Carlo della Torre Rezzonico) displayed on an ornate baroque cartouche, surmounted by the papal tiara (triregnum) flanked by the crossed keys of Saint Peter. The shield is quartered, featuring the Rezzonico family arms. The circular legend reads CLEM·XIII PONT·M·A·III around the periphery, with a milled border enclosing the design. |

| Reverse description | Saint Peter depicted as a majestic seated figure, turned to the right, surrounded by billowing clouds and set against a radiant glory (sunburst) emanating from behind his head. He extends his right hand toward a miniature representation of a classical temple or church building at right, while holding keys or a staff in his left hand. The date 1760 appears in the exergue, and the split legend SVPRA·FIR / MAM PETRAM (from Matthew 16:18, 'upon this firm rock') is disposed around the field, alluding to the foundation of the Church upon Peter. |
