| Obverse description | Crossed papal keys in saltire surmounted by the papal tiara, displayed centrally in the field. The keys are depicted with their characteristic bow and bit forms, tied together at the crossing point with a cord. The legend FVLG appears in the field, serving as the mint abbreviation for Foligno. The overall design is characteristic of the crude hammered style typical of minor Papal States billon coinage of the early sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left, rendered in a bold if somewhat archaic style, with its right forepaw resting upon a globe or orb in the lower left field. The lion, a pun on the name of Pope Leo X (Giovanni de' Medici), stands upon a horizontal ground line that divides the field. Below the ground line, the abbreviated legend IO appears between two pellets, referencing the pope's baptismal name Ioannes. The beaded border frames the design on all sides. |
