| Obverse description | Crowned royal arms of France quartered with dolphins, the shield of Dauphine, displayed within a beaded inner circle. A porcupine, emblem of Louis XII, is depicted below the shield in the lower field. The surrounding Latin legend runs between two beaded borders along the coin's irregular periphery, with letters struck in Gothic style characteristic of early French Renaissance coinage. |
