| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope Urban VIII (Maffeo Barberini) facing right, depicted in papal vestments including mozetta and cap. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat crude provincial style typical of hammered coinage from the Ferrara mint. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, incorporating the pope's name, regnal numeral, family name, and title. The date 1623 appears within the legend field. |
