| Obverse description | A large floriated cross with fleur-de-lis terminals occupies the center of the coin, with a crowned H (for Henri, the royal cipher) at the center point of the cross. The circular legend reads LVDOVICVS XIII D G FRANC ET NA REX, identifying Louis XIII as King of France and Navarre. The cross arms extend nearly to the beaded inner border, dividing the legend into four segments. The overall design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century French hammered coinage, with bold relief and slightly irregular flan. |
