| Obverse description | Laureate bust of King Louis-Philippe I facing left, his hair rendered in finely detailed curls beneath a laurel wreath, in high relief characteristic of Barre's engraving style. The truncation of the neck is bare, and the engraver's signature BARRE 1840 appears in small letters below the bust. The circular legend reads LOUIS PHILIPPE I ROI DES FRANÇAIS, distributed around the periphery, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |
