| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the papal heraldic shield of Urban VIII, surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter, all set within an ornate cartouche with elaborate foliate and scroll mantling. The Barberini family arms — featuring three bees — are prominently displayed on the escutcheon. A circular beaded border frames the composition, with the Latin legend running around the periphery incorporating the date. |
