| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of Louis XVIII occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail including curled hair tied at the nape. The encircling legend reads LOUIS XVIII ROI DE FRANCE, distributed around the upper and lower periphery within a toothed border. The word ESSAI appears in the lower exergual area beneath the bust, identifying this piece as a pattern or trial strike. The portrait is classically proportioned in the neoclassical tradition favored by the Restoration monarchy. |
