| Obverse description | Central field displays the abbreviation PV/IE arranged in two lines, surmounted by a fleur-de-lis crown rendered in relief. The crown rises prominently above the lettering, with fleurs flanking the central lily finial. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the central device, separated from the field by a beaded inner border. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Provençal billon coinage, with bold, deeply struck lettering typical of the hammered technique. |
