| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Louis XIV facing right, armored in the antique style. The king is portrayed with long flowing hair. The legend, beginning at approximately the 7 o'clock position, reads LVD•XIIII•D•G FR•ET•NAV•REX in Latin characters. The portrait reflects the mature, imperious likeness of the Sun King as rendered by engraver Joseph Roëttiers in a classicizing idiom. |
