| Obverse description | Facing busts of Henry II of Navarre and Margaret of Valois in profile, shown face to face within a beaded inner circle, both effigies crowned and draped. A shared crown surmounts the conjoined portraits at the top of the field, while a cow — the traditional heraldic symbol of Béarn — appears below. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the outer margin, separated from the central design by a beaded border. |
