| Obverse description | Draped laureate bust of Louis XIII facing right, rendered in a robust baroque style characteristic of early 17th-century French coinage. The king wears a laurel wreath and armor with lace collar visible at the shoulder. The effigy is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads LOYS XIII R DE FRAN ET NAV, identifying the king as Louis XIII, King of France and Navarre, with the mint letter A (Paris) appearing at the end of the legend. |
