| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Louis-Philippe I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair crowned with a laurel wreath. The circumferential legend reads LOUIS PHILIPPE I to the left and ROI DES FRANÇAIS to the right, following the coin's border. The word ESSAI appears in the lower exergual area below the truncation, identifying this piece as a trial strike. The portrait displays the characteristic physiognomy associated with Bovy's engraving style, with a strong profile and naturalistic modeling. The inner border features a fine toothed pattern framing the design. |
