| Obverse description | Central field displays the Genoese portal (city gate), flanked by a fleur-de-lis to the right and a crowned letter F — the royal monogram of Francis I — to the left. A radiant sun appears above the portal, giving the type its designation 'au soleil.' The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the royal legend disposed around the periphery in Gothic-influenced Latin lettering. |
