| Obverse description | An ermine (the heraldic animal) faces left within the field, with a single ermine spot depicted above it as a charge. The design is rendered in a bold, medieval hammered style characteristic of Breton feudal coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, separated from the field by a beaded inner border. The inscription reads FRANCISCVS DVX R, identifying the issuing duke and the mint mark. |
