| Obverse description | Central field features the papal coat of arms of Urban VIII (Maffeo Barberini), displaying the characteristic Barberini heraldic shield surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter, symbolizing both temporal and spiritual authority. The shield bears the Barberini bees device. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading VRBANVS VIII PONT M, identifying the issuing pontiff as Urban VIII, Supreme Pontiff. The coin is struck on an irregular copper flan typical of hammered coinage of the period, with characteristic surface irregularities. |
