| Obverse lettering | KAROLVS 9 D G FRANCOR REX (Translation: Charles IX by the grace of God King of the Franks.) |
| Reverse description | The royal arms of France — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — displayed at center beneath an elaborate crown, flanked on either side by the royal initial K (for Karolus), with small crowned K devices serving as mint marks or decorative elements. The date appears in the upper field integrated into the circular Latin legend. The overall design reflects the standard heraldic composition employed on mid-sixteenth century French silver coinage, with the mint letter L (Bayonne) positioned below the shield. |
