| Obverse description | Youthful laureate effigy of King Louis XV facing right, with draped and cuirassed bust rendered in a childlike portrait style characteristic of early issues of his reign. The legend commences at approximately 19 o'clock and encircles the bust. The portrait reflects the work of engraver Joseph Charles Roëttiers, conveying the juvenile features of the young monarch. The mint mark appears within the legend. |
