| Obverse description | Central field displays the papal tiara (triregnum) above crossed keys of St. Peter, the traditional heraldic emblem of the Holy See, all set within a beaded inner circle. The keys are depicted in saltire with their bows uppermost, rendered in a bold, low-relief hammered style characteristic of Avignonese pontifical coinage. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the beaded border, reads VRB : PP : QNTS, an abbreviated inscription identifying Pope Urban V. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the rim, as is typical of billon coinage of this period. |
