| Obverse description | Youthful laureate and cuirassed effigy of Louis XV facing right, with long flowing hair arranged in loose curls falling to the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a delicate baroque style characteristic of Norbert Roettiers, with fine detail in the drapery of the cuirass visible at the truncation. A circular Latin legend runs along the raised border, separated from the field by a toothed inner rim. |
