Beschrijving voorzijde Central field bears the papal arms of Innocent XI (Odescalchi), displaying an eagle displayed above two diagonal bands with six goblets, all surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter. The shield is set within an elaborate baroque cartouche with foliate scrollwork. The circumferential legend INNOCENTIVS · XI · PONT · MAX · runs around the periphery, with the date 1684 divided at the top of the field. The coin is struck with a boldly milled edge, and the entire composition is rendered in the high-relief baroque style characteristic of late seventeenth-century Roman papal coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse presents a four-line Latin devotional inscription MELIVS / EST DARE / QVAM / ACCIPERE, meaning 'It is better to give than to receive' (Acts 20:35), displayed in bold raised lettering across the open field. The inscription is elegantly enclosed within a wreath of olive branches tied at the base, with berried sprigs distributed throughout in a symmetrical arrangement. The composition is uncluttered and austere, emphasizing the papal motto chosen by Innocent XI as a reflection of his well-documented personal piety and charitable governance.
