| Obverse description | Central field bears a heraldic shield charged with the ermine pattern of Brittany, surmounted by a radiant sun — the distinctive device of the écu d'or au soleil — evoking the gold coinage struck under Louis XII in 1498. The date 1498 appears prominently in the field, referencing the historical issue and its association with the assembly of the Estates General convened at Tours in May 1506. The surrounding legend, divided between the upper and lower periphery, reads LE DUCHÉ DE BRETAGNE 1498 ECU D'OR AU SOLEIL DE BRETAGNE in Latin script. The overall composition is rendered in a medallic style consistent with modern commemorative fantasy issues. |
