| Obverse description | Crowned French royal arms (three fleurs-de-lis on a plain field) displayed on a shield surmounted by a fleur-de-lis crown, all within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Gothic characters reads LVDOVICVS: DEI: GRA: FRANCOR: REX, identifying Louis XI as King of France by the grace of God. The design is characteristic of late medieval French hammered gold coinage, with the shield occupying the full central field. |
