Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Pope Innocent X facing right, wearing the papal camauro cap and richly embroidered cope, rendered in high relief in the Baroque style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Roman die-cutting. The pontiff's aged features are rendered with pronounced physiognomic detail, including a hooked nose and defined chin. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy, separating it from the surrounding peripheral legend. The Latin legend INNOCENTIVS • X • PONT • MAX • 1647 runs continuously around the circumference, identifying the pope by name and title with the emission year.

The shield and insignia are enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend CAMILLVS • CARD • PAMPHILIVS • LEGAT • AVEN • runs continuously around the periphery, identifying the cardinal legate and his seat at Avignon.

Aanvullende informatie

Innocent X despised his sister-in-law Olimpia Maidalchini so thoroughly that he briefly exiled her from the Vatican in 1646 — then almost immediately recalled her because he couldn't manage without her. That same year he appointed his nephew Camillo Pamphili as Cardinal-Legate to Avignon, though Camillo renounced the cardinalate in 1647 to marry, making this issue a product of an exceptionally narrow administrative window. The Comtat Venaissin had been a papal enclave within French territory since 1274, and its mint at Avignon operated semi-independently under whichever legate held the appointment.

Camillo's legation lasted only months before his resignation threw the succession into disarray.
