Obverse description Full-length frontal effigy of King Jean II standing beneath an elaborate Gothic canopy, crowned and robed in royal vestments, holding a scepter in his right hand; the canopy is flanked on either side by stylized fleurs-de-lis issuing from the architectural frame. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads + IOHANNES DEI GRACIA FRANCORVM REX. The composition reflects the refined Gothic artistic style characteristic of mid-14th-century French royal coinage, with the architectural setting conveying regal authority and dynastic symbolism.
