| Obverse description | Draped bust of Henri III facing right, depicted with a short beard and ruff collar in the Renaissance style typical of the French royal coinage of the late 16th century. A crescent mint mark appears below the bust, serving as the Rennes mint differentiating symbol. The royal legend encircles the effigy along the border, with a beaded inner circle separating the bust from the surrounding inscription. The overall die workmanship is characteristic of hammered provincial coinage, resulting in a slightly irregular flan. |
