| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope Paul V facing right, depicted bare-headed and wearing a heavily ornamented cope embroidered with floral motifs. The portrait is rendered in a high-relief, naturalistic style characteristic of early seventeenth-century papal coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy. The legend surrounding the bust reads the pontifical title and regnal year, with the date appearing in the lower field. |
