The emperor's portrait features a laurel wreath crown and draped shoulders, with fine detail in the hair and facial features characteristic of First Empire coinage. The engraver's name 'Tiolier' appears in italic script below the truncation of the bust. The peripheral legend 'NAPOLEON EMPEREUR' runs along the upper rim in raised Latin capitals. |
