| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Emperor Charles V facing left, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of mid-16th-century provincial coinage. The effigy displays a bearded portrait with the crown prominently rendered above, and the emperor's mantle visible at the shoulder. The bust is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend occupying the outer field. The overall composition is typical of Franche-Comté coinage of the period, with the portrait exhibiting a slightly archaic, stylized quality. |
