| Obverse description | Papal arms of Innocent XI centered in the field, comprising a quartered shield displaying an eagle in the upper half and three chalices below, surmounted by the papal tiara and flanked by the crossed Keys of Saint Peter, with tasseled cords descending on either side. The shield is rendered in a bold Baroque engraving style with finely detailed heraldic elements. A milled inner border frames the design, with the circular Latin legend distributed around the periphery separated by dot stops. |
