The circumferential Latin legend LVDOVICVS XIII D G FR ET NAV REX — identifying the king as Louis XIII, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre — runs clockwise, punctuated by pellet stops. |

The circumferential Latin legend SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTVM — 'Blessed be the name of the Lord' — runs clockwise, punctuated by pellet stops, followed by the date 1642.

The 1641 monetary reform ordered by Louis XIII — engineered largely by his finance ministers struggling to fund the Thirty Years' War — overhauled the écu coinage and introduced this short-lived first portrait type. It was superseded almost immediately by a second portrait in 1642, making the production window for this specific type exceptionally narrow. Some mint facilities had barely retooled before the dies were obsolete.
France operated numerous provincial mints in this period, and identifying the striking facility from the mint mark is often the more consequential attribution exercise with this type than assessing condition alone.
