| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Henry II facing right, with detailed chased armor visible on the cuirass and pauldron. The royal effigy is rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture characteristic of the French Renaissance style. The mint mark appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The circular legend is interrupted by the bust and reads in Latin around the periphery. |
