| Obverse description | The papal arms of Urban VIII (Barberini) occupy the central field, displaying the distinctive Barberini device of three bees arranged on a shield surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys. The shield is set within an elaborate cartouche flanked by decorative foliate elements. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, enclosed within a beaded border that runs along the full circumference of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica is depicted at center, rendered in architectural detail with pilasters, a decorative pediment, and a prominent cartouche or hanging veil above the threshold bearing the image of the Veil of Veronica — the relic showing the face of Christ. The date 16-25 is divided on either side of the doorway in the field, with ROMA inscribed at the base. A continuous Latin legend encircles the composition within a beaded border, referencing the Jubilee indulgence of the Holy Year. |
