| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Pope Paul V in high relief, wearing the papal camauro cap and richly embroidered cope with a decorative morse clasp visible at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic Renaissance style with fine detail in the facial features, beard, and vestment folds. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circumferential Latin legend reads PAVLVS V PON MAX A IIII, separated by star-shaped stops, identifying the pontiff and his fourth regnal year. |
