| Obverse description | The heraldic arms of Cardinal Annibale Albani displayed on a baroque cartouche, surmounted by the papal umbraculum (pavilion) with crossed keys of Saint Peter, the traditional symbols of the Sede Vacante. The shield bears the Albani family device, including a star and horizontal bars. The legend SEDE VACAN TE is distributed in the field to the left and right, with the Roman numeral date MDCCXXXX appearing prominently in the upper right field. The coin's milled border frames the entire composition. |
