| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned royal arms of France — a shield charged with three fleurs-de-lis — surmounted by a royal crown with fleurs-de-lis finials. A stylized sun appears above the shield, while the mint mark is positioned at 12 o'clock. A ship on a crescent device appears in the lower field. The design is enclosed within a inner beaded circle, surrounded by the royal Latin legend in Gothic lettering. |
