| Obverse description | Central field features a stylised depiction of the medieval besant (Byzantine-inspired coin design) of Chartres, rendered as a geometric motif with a central boss flanked by two stylised human figures, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads 'BESANT DE LA VILLE DE CHARTRES' along the upper periphery, with '12eme Siècle' inscribed along the lower portion, referencing the 12th-century origin of the original coin type. The overall design evokes the heraldic and numismatic imagery of medieval Chartres. |
