| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned imperial monogram of Napoleon I — a large Gothic letter 'N' surmounted by an ornate imperial crown, flanked on either side by decorative scrollwork or serpentine flourishes. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath of oak branches tied at the base, with a further oak spray arching over the crown at the top. The border is composed of a continuous ring of raised beads. The design is bold and emblematic, characteristic of the First Empire's neoclassical coinage style. |

The wreath is surmounted by a small oak spray at the apex. The border is composed of a continuous raised bead ring, consistent with the obverse.
