| Obverse description | Youthful laureate effigy of Louis XIV facing right, with long flowing hair cascading over the shoulders, the bust draped and cuirassed in the Baroque manner. The portrait reflects an early representation of the king, rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and drapery. A sunburst device is visible above the crown of laurel. The encircling legend reads LVD · XIIII · D · G FR · ET · NAV · REX, separated by ornamental stops, running along the inner beaded border. |
