| Obverse description | Bust of Henri III facing right, laureate and draped, occupying the central field. The legend commences at 6 o'clock and runs clockwise along a smooth inner circle, rendered in Latin capital letters. The portrait is executed in the crude hammered style typical of provincial French coinage of the late sixteenth century. The king's features, collar, and drapery are rendered in low relief consistent with the output of the Toulouse mint of this period. |

Mintmaster initials I (for Antoine Joly, 1592-1593) or C (for Jehan Clergeaut, 1592-1594) appear in the legend on certain varieties. Multiple legend variants exist, differentiated by the presence or absence of punctuation stops at the beginning and end of the inscription. |
