| Obverse description | The papal coat of arms of Innocent XI (Benedetto Odescalchi) occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield with the Odescalchi family arms — an eagle in chief above horizontal bands — surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys. The shield is flanked by elaborate foliate scrollwork. The circular Latin legend reads INNOC XI • P • M • around the periphery, with a beaded inner border and milled edge visible on the coin's rim. |

| Reverse description | The two-word Latin motto NOCET MINVS ('it harms less') is inscribed in three lines at the center of the field, with the date 1685 below, all enclosed within a finely detailed laurel and olive wreath tied at the base with a ribbon. The wreath is composed of symmetrical branches curving elegantly to meet at the top. The design is plain and unadorned beyond the wreath, with a beaded inner border following the milled coin edge. |
