| Obverse description | Draped bust of Henry II of Bourbon-Montpensier facing left, wearing a ruffled collar, with curled hair visible at the nape. The effigy is rendered in a late Renaissance style typical of French feudal coinage of the early 17th century. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the Latin legend running along the periphery. |
