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.
