| Obverse description | The arms of Pope Clement XII displayed within an ornate baroque cartouche surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys, the symbols of pontifical authority. The shield bears the Corsini family coat of arms, featuring diagonal bends, flanked by elaborate acanthus scrollwork. The circular legend naming the pontiff and his regnal year runs along the periphery between an inner circle and the milled border. |

| Reverse description | The motto TOLLE ET PROIICE and the date 1737 are inscribed in three lines within an elaborate baroque cartouche framed by bold acanthus scrollwork. A decorative shell or foliate ornament crowns the cartouche at the top. The composition fills the entire field within the milled border, with no peripheral legend, giving the reverse a compact and devotional character typical of Papal State coinage of the period. |
