| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Napoleon III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine detailing of the laurel wreath and curled hair. A short imperial beard and moustache are depicted in the characteristic style of the Second Empire coinage. The encircling legend reads NAPOLEON III EMPEREUR, separated by small five-pointed stars at the base of the bust. The engraver's signature BARRE appears incuse on the truncation, and the mint year is prominently struck in the lower field beneath the portrait, all within a beaded border. |
