| Obverse description | A panoramic view of the historic port of La Rochelle occupies the central field, depicting the two iconic medieval harbour towers — the Tour de la Chaîne on the left and the Tour Saint-Nicolas on the right — rendered in fine relief. The towers are shown flanking the harbour entrance, with quayside structures and moored vessels visible at their bases. Seagulls in flight are depicted in the upper field between the two towers, lending dynamism to the composition. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse, the architectural scene filling the flan to the rim. |
