| Obverse description | Central field features the papal coat of arms of Pope Pius VI, depicted as a rounded shield bearing vertical lines (per pale) with a lily plant at base and a shooting star or comet to the lower left, surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter. The arms are flanked on either side by the tasselled cords of a cardinal's hat. Five six-pointed stars are arranged across the upper portion of the shield. The circular Latin legend PIVS·SEXTVS PONT·MAXIMVS·ANNO·XXII runs around the periphery, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |
