| Obverse description | Draped bust of Francis Xaver, Count of Montfort, facing right, depicted in elaborate period dress with lace cravat and ornate armour, his hair dressed and curled in the fashion of the mid-18th century. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the drapery and facial features. The Latin legend FRANC:XAV:COM:DE MONTFORT curves around the upper and right periphery of the coin, separated by the bust truncation at the lower field. The inner border is plain, and the outer rim carries a fine milled edge. |
