| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Henri III facing right with a flat collar, set within a smooth or pearled inner circle of 13 to 14 mm diameter. The legend commences at 6 o'clock and appears in several documented varieties (a through g), reflecting the multiple bust types grouped under workshop periods of 1579, 1582-1586, 1586, and 1588-1589. The effigy varies across at least four distinct bust types catalogued for the Rouen mint, some examples featuring a crown of thorns as a mintmaster's mark incorporated into the legend. A 15th pellet is present on certain specimens. |
