| Obverse description | Draped laureate bust of Louis XIII facing right, wearing a laurel wreath and ruffled collar, occupying the central field. The legend commences at approximately 8 o'clock and reads LOIS.XIII.R.D.FRAN.E.NAV, with a small letter E beneath the bust serving as the Tours mint mark. The inscription is enclosed within an incomplete smooth inner circle, with the legend running between that circle and the coin's rim. |

The legend + DOVBLE.TOVRNOIS.1637 commences at 12 o'clock and runs clockwise around the periphery, separated from the central design by the smooth circle. The fleurs-de-lis are rendered in the bold, stylised manner typical of French royal copper coinage of the period. |
