| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal coat of arms of Sixtus IV within an ovoid shield, surmounted by the papal tiara (triregnum) and crossed keys of Saint Peter. The arms show a divided escutcheon with oak tree and lion motifs characteristic of the Della Rovere family heraldry. The shield is rendered in a bold, late-medieval engraving style typical of hammered billon coinage from the Viterbo mint. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device within the irregular hammered flan. |
