| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Louis XVI facing left, engraved in the neoclassical style by Pierre-Benjamin Duvivier, with finely detailed hair tied at the nape. The circular legend reads LOUIS XVI ROI DES FRANÇAIS, separated by a small heart ornament at the base. The date 1792 appears in the lower portion of the legend, followed by the Strasbourg mint mark BB. The portrait is contained within a toothed or beaded inner border, characteristic of the constitutional coinage of the French monarchy's final years. |
