| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pope Clement VIII facing left, wearing the papal camauro and mozetta, with a short beard rendered in fine detail. The effigy is boldly struck in high relief, occupying the central field of the coin. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, separated from the bust by an inner beaded border. The overall style is characteristic of late Renaissance pontifical coinage from the Avignon region. |

| Reverse description | An oval coat of arms of Charles of Conti, pro-legate of Avignon, displayed in the centre of the field within ornate cartouche-style mantling, surmounted by a cardinal's broad-brimmed hat with pendant tasselled cords on either side. The arms are rendered in the heraldic tradition of the period, showing a chequered or lozengy field. A Latin legend encircles the design, divided by small star-shaped stops, reading continuously around the outer border within a beaded rim. |
