| Obverse description | Half-length frontal effigy of Charles, Duke of Aquitaine, depicted wearing a fillet crown, his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction and his left hand grasping an upright sword. The figure is rendered in a Gothic hammered style characteristic of late medieval French feudal coinage. The legend encircles the central effigy within a beaded border, identifying the duke by name and title. |
