| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Louis XVIII facing left, with flowing hair tied in a queue at the nape, rendered in high relief in the neoclassical style by engraver Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier. The legend LOUIS XVIII ROI DE FRANCE curves around the periphery, with the word ESSAI appearing in the lower field beneath the truncation. The portrait is set within a fine beaded border and occupies the majority of the coin's field, conveying a dignified and naturalistic royal effigy. |
