| Obverse description | Central field features a large crowned royal monogram or cipher within a raised inner circle, flanked by the date elements '19' visible in the lower field. The surrounding legend COLONIE DE CAYENNE runs along the outer border in Latin script, separated from the inner device by a ring of decorative beading. The overall design is characteristic of French colonial coinage of the early nineteenth century, with a plain inner field and a toothed rim encircling the entire face. |

| Reverse description | Central device comprises a royal French crown surmounting two fleurs-de-lis flanking a central oval cartouche, all rendered in relief against a plain field. The surrounding legend reads LOUIS XVIII ROI DE FRANCE ET DE NAVARRE in Latin script, disposed around the outer border. A toothed or milled rim frames the entire design. The composition is consistent with French Bourbon royal heraldic iconography as used on colonial issues of the period. |
