| Obverse description | Bare-headed juvenile effigy of Louis XV facing right, rendered with elaborate curled periwig hairstyle falling to the neck, the portrait displaying the soft facial features characteristic of the young king. The truncation of the bust is plain and unadorned. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, incorporating the date 1716 at the base, with a small fleur-de-lis or cross ornament separating the legend elements. The engraving reflects the refined Baroque portraiture style of the Roettiers workshop. |
