| Obverse description | Laureate head of King Charles X facing left, rendered in fine relief in the neoclassical style. The king's effigy displays a laurel wreath upon his head, with carefully detailed hair and facial features characteristic of Tiolier's engraving. The legend CHARLES X ROI DE FRANCE arcs around the periphery. The engraver's cursive signature N. Tiolier appears below the truncation of the bust. The overall portrait conveys a formal, regal quality consistent with official French Restoration coinage. |
