| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Louis XV facing left, wearing a fillet headband, with long flowing hair tied in a queue. The portrait is rendered in the classical style engraved by Röettiers, with fine drapery visible at the truncation. The circular Latin legend runs along the border, reading LUD·XV·D·G·FR·ET·NA·RE·BD, abbreviating the king's royal titles. The legend is separated from the field by a finely beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | A crowned oval shield bearing the arms of France (three fleurs-de-lis) superimposed upon the vaquette of Béarn, flanked and framed by two symmetrical olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon. The date appears within the circular Latin legend along the border, which reads SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTUM, a devotional phrase meaning 'Blessed be the Name of the Lord.' The composition is characteristic of the Béarn mint issues, distinguishing them from standard French royal coinage of the period. |
