| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope Pius IX facing left, set within a beaded inner circle. The outer legend reads PIVS · IX · PONT · MAX · ANN · XXI, citing the pontiff's name and his regnal year in Roman numerals, with PONT. MAX. standing for Pontifex Maximus. The date of issue appears in the lower exergual area, below the bust, flanked by decorative stars. The portrait is rendered in a classical neoclassical style, consistent with mid-nineteenth-century Italian medallic engraving. |
