| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal arms of Innocent XI, comprising a heraldic shield surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys, flanked by elaborate foliate and scrollwork ornamentation. The shield bears the Odescalchi family coat of arms, featuring a rampant lion and diagonal bands. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, with the decorative elements rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of provincial Papal States copper coinage. |
