| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Henri II facing right, wearing a gorget and pauldron with intricate engraved detail, the king's hair rendered in short curled locks in the Renaissance manner. The royal effigy is boldly struck and occupies most of the field. The circumferential Latin legend reads HENRICVS II D G FRANCOR REX, separated by pellets and annulets, running from the lower left to the lower right around the beaded inner border. |
