| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the papal coat of arms of Pope Innocent XI (Benedetto Odescalchi), featuring a quartered shield with the Odescalchi family arms — displaying horizontal wavy bars and an eagle — surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys, all flanked by elaborate acanthus scrollwork. The arms are rendered in high relief in the Baroque style typical of late seventeenth-century Roman coinage. The circular legend, interrupted by decorative stops, reads INNOCEN XI PONT M A XI, identifying the pope and his regnal year. The coin's milled border frames the composition with a fine toothed rim. |

| Reverse description | A prominent ornate cartouche in the Baroque style, adorned with elaborate acanthus leaf and scroll decoration at the top, sides, and base, encloses a five-line Latin inscription in capital letters across the field. Below the inscription, the date 1686 is struck in the lower portion of the cartouche. The motto, drawn from the Book of Proverbs (28:27), proclaims QVI DAT PAVPERI NON INDIGEBIT, meaning 'He who gives to the poor shall not be in want.' The fine toothed milled border surrounds the entire design. The overall composition exemplifies the refined engraving traditions of the Roman papal mint under Innocent XI. |
