Obverse description Left-facing truncated bust of Prince Louis II in full dress military uniform, prominently displaying epaulettes, aiguillettes, and a row of decorations and medals on his chest. The Prince wears spectacles, lending the portrait a distinguished realism characteristic of Pierre Turin's medallic style. The engraver's signature P. TURIN appears in the left field below the bust. The circular legend reads LOUIS II PRINCE DE MONACO, divided on either side of the effigy, with a beaded inner border framing the entire design.
