Obverse description	A royal crown depicted in full face at centre field, rendered in a primitive but bold style characteristic of early French colonial coinage. The crown features a rounded base band adorned with two rows of pellets, surmounted by arching elements and three fleurs-de-lis at the top. The design fills most of the flan and is unaccompanied by any legend or inscription. The irregular flan and crude striking are typical of locally produced hammered bronze coinage of the period.
