| Obverse description | Bare head of King Charles X facing right, rendered in the neoclassical style by engraver Auguste-François Michaut, whose name appears in small letters below the truncation. The king's name and title are inscribed in the surrounding legend divided on either side of the effigy. The portrait is unadorned, without laurel or diadem, consistent with the Restoration-era royal coinage convention. |

| Reverse description | The crowned coat of arms of France — three fleurs-de-lis on a shield — is displayed centrally in the field, flanked symmetrically by olive branches. The denomination '40 F' appears divided on either side of the shield, while the date and mint mark are inscribed in the exergue below. The overall composition reflects the formal heraldic style characteristic of French Restoration-period gold coinage. |
