| Obverse description | Central papal coat of arms displayed within an ornate oval cartouche, surmounted by the crossed keys of Saint Peter and the papal tiara emanating rays, with elaborate acanthus scrollwork flanking the shield on either side. The shield is quartered and bears floral sprigs in the lower portion with three stars above, consistent with the Braschi family arms of Pope Pius VI. A laurel branch appears at the lower left of the cartouche. The circular legend PIVS SEXTVS PONT M A VI runs along the coin's periphery in Latin capitals, partially visible at left and right, with the obverse struck within a finely milled border. |
