| Obverse description | Crowned and enthroned facing effigy of King Louis XII of France seated in majesty, holding a fleur-de-lis scepter in his right hand and an orb or second scepter in his left, depicted in a frontal regal pose typical of late medieval Neapolitan coinage. The king is shown wearing royal robes and a crown, rendered in the Gothic hammered style. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the central device within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A bold Jerusalem cross — a large central cross potent — occupies the field, with a fleur-de-lis at each of its four terminals, all contained within an inner circle. The cross is rendered in high relief in the characteristic hammered style of the period. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design between the inner circle and the outer beaded border, referencing a psalm verse. |
