| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Prince Charles, Prince Regent of Belgium, in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief with bold, sculptural modeling. The portrait fills much of the field, with the subject's strong facial features and short hair rendered in a modernist style. The circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait along the rim, interrupted by small dot separators between words. |
