| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Louis XIV facing right, rendered in the antique style with elaborately detailed armour, the truncation falling in the lower obverse field where the date is struck. The circumferential legend, inscribed in Latin, encircles the effigy and identifies the king as sovereign of France, Navarre, and Béarn. The portrait reflects the mature regal style associated with the Roettiers workshop, combining classical gravitas with Baroque decorative refinement. |
