| Obverse description | At center, a Type IV royal crown rendered in high relief, flanked on each side by a fleur-de-lis, with two additional fleurs-de-lis disposed below, all characteristic of Bourbon restoration French colonial coinage. A circular legend reading 'LOUIS XVIII. ROI. DE. NAV.' surrounds the central device within a raised beaded border. The composition reflects the heraldic vocabulary of the Restoration monarchy, with the crown serving as the principal device within the field. |

| Reverse description | At center, a crowned escutcheon bearing the arms of the Colony of Saint Barthelemy, flanked by the initials 'SC' and a denomination indicator. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown. A partial circular legend reading 'COLONIE DE' surrounds the central armorial device, with a dentilated outer border encircling the composition. The design follows standard French colonial administrative coinage conventions of the early nineteenth century. |
