| Obverse description | Bust of Pope Clement VIII facing right, wearing the papal camauro and an ornately decorated cope embroidered with floral and cross motifs, with the papal keys visible on the vestment. The portrait is rendered in a bold, if somewhat crude, hammered style typical of late 16th-century Bologna mint coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy in the field, reading CLEMENS VIII PON MAX, identifying the pontiff by name and title. |
