| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal arms of Benedict XIV: an ornate escutcheon surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys, flanked by elaborate acanthus scrollwork and decorative mantling. The shield bears the Lambertini family coat of arms, featuring fleurs-de-lis and a star in the central quarters. The entire armorial composition is encircled by a wreath of olive and laurel branches tied at the base, with a fine toothed border surrounding the whole design. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts Saint George on horseback in dynamic right-facing pose, thrusting a lance downward toward a dragon beneath the horse's hooves, rendered in the Baroque style typical of Ferrara Mint coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. The equestrian figure occupies a plain field enclosed by a wreath of olive and laurel branches tied at the base. A fine toothed border frames the entire design at the periphery. |
