Obverse description Bare-headed bust of Joachim Murat facing right, rendered in a classicizing style with elaborately curled hair falling to the nape of the neck. The effigy is finely detailed, with a draped truncation at the shoulder. The circular legend GIOACCHINO NAPOLEONE is disposed around the upper periphery, with the date 1812 appearing in the lower exergual area beneath the bust. The portrait conveys a neoclassical idealized quality consistent with early nineteenth-century Italian engraving traditions.
