| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Henri IV facing right, rendered in low relief in the hammered style characteristic of late 16th-century French coinage. The portrait is relatively crude in execution, showing the king with a pronounced jawline and simple neck truncation. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading HENRI.IIII.R.DE.FRAN.ET.NAVARE or HENRI.IIII.R.D.FRAN.ET.NAVARE depending on variety, abbreviating his titles as King of France and Navarre. The field shows typical surface irregularities consistent with hand-struck copper coinage of the period. |
