| Obverse description | Central field displays a large quartered shield of arms surmounted by a princely crown, the quarters bearing the complex heraldic devices of the House of La Tour d'Auvergne. The shield is flanked on either side by crowned Gothic letter H monograms, referencing the issuer Henri de la Tour. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the date 1614 appearing prominently above the crowned shield within the legend. The circumferential Latin legend reads HENR DE LA TOVR D BVLLIONII 1614, identifying Henri de la Tour, Duke of Bouillon, and runs between the beaded border and the milled outer rim. |
