Obverse description Central field dominated by the papal arms of Leo X (Medici), displaying the characteristic Medici palle — a shield charged with six roundels — surmounted by the crossed keys of Saint Peter and the papal tiara, all rendered in high relief in the Italian Renaissance hammered style. The heraldic composition is bold and well-centered within the irregular flan. A continuous circular legend in Latin surrounds the device along the coin's border, separated by a beaded inner circle. The inscription reads LEO DECIMVS PONTI MAXIM, identifying the issuing pontiff as Leo X, Supreme Pontiff.
