| Obverse description | Draped and caped bust of Pope Innocent XI facing right, wearing the papal camauro and richly embroidered mozetta, with fine flowing hair visible beneath the cap. The papal vestments are rendered in exceptional high relief with intricate foliate and figural decoration on the collar. The engraver's signature IO. HAMERANUS appears incuse along the lower rim. The Latin legend INNOCEN·XI·PONT·MAX·A·VIII encircles the effigy, separated by star-shaped stops, within a finely milled border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a four-line Latin scriptural inscription in bold capital letters — DEXTERA / TVA DOMINE / PERCVSSIT / INIMICVM — set within an open field framed by a large, finely detailed wreath of palm fronds, tied at the base with a ribbon or knot. The fronds radiate outward at the top, creating an elegant heraldic frame around the text. The composition is entirely typographic, with no figurative imagery, conveying the commemorative message of divine victory with austere Baroque dignity. The whole is enclosed within a milled border consistent with the obverse. |
