| Obverse description | Displayed imperial double-headed eagle with wings spread, the city arms of Besançon borne on a shield at the breast. The legend encircles the design within a beaded inner border, with the date appearing in the field alongside the eagle. The engraving is characteristic of hammered Renaissance coinage, with bold relief and somewhat irregular flan. |
