| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Prince Louis II in left-facing profile, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail. The engraver's signature L. MAUBERT and the word ESSAI appear in small letters below the truncation of the neck. The circular legend LOUIS II PRINCE DE MONACO runs along the upper periphery, separated from the field by a beaded inner border. The overall style reflects the academic portrait tradition of early 20th-century French medallic art. |
