| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned papal coat of arms of Pope Innocent XI (Benedetto Odescalchi), surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys. The shield is quartered, featuring the Odescalchi family arms — an eagle displayed in chief and three bands of waves in base — flanked by elaborate acanthus scrollwork. The circumferential Latin legend reads INNOCEN • XI • PON • M • A • VII, denoting the pontiff's name, title, and seventh regnal year. The coin exhibits a finely milled edge border, and the relief of the arms is rendered in a confident Baroque engraving style characteristic of late 17th-century Roman coinage. |
