| Obverse description | Bare juvenile bust of Louis XV facing right, set within a milled border. The legend encircles the effigy along the periphery, reading LUD XV D.G. FR. ET NAV. REX, identifying the king by his regnal title. The portrait reflects the early Roettiers style, with a youthful, unadorned likeness befitting a monarch newly ascended to the throne. The field around the bust is plain, with no additional devices. |
