| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal coat of arms of Clement XI, featuring a shield divided with a horizontal band and a key motif at the base, surmounted by the papal tiara and flanked by elaborate acanthus scroll ornaments in Baroque style. A small six-pointed star appears in the upper portion of the shield. The legend CLEM · XI P · M (Clemens XI Pontifex Maximus) runs along the periphery in Latin capitals. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or milled border. The heraldic composition is characteristic of early eighteenth-century Roman papal coinage. |
