| Obverse description | The papal arms of Clement XI displayed on an ornate baroque cartouche, surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter. The shield bears the heraldic device of the Albani family, flanked by elaborate scrollwork and acanthus foliate decoration. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The composition is rendered in the characteristic high-relief baroque style typical of early eighteenth-century Papal States coinage. |

| Reverse description | Bearded bust of Saint Peter facing right, wearing a mantle and depicted with curly hair, rendered in a bold sculptural style characteristic of Papal States copper coinage of the period. The apostle's portrait fills the majority of the field, with the Latin abbreviated legend distributed around the periphery within a beaded inner border. The figure conveys the traditional iconographic representation of the Prince of the Apostles as employed on the coinage of Gubbio during the pontificate of Clement XI. |
