| Obverse description | Youthful laureate bust of Louis XIV facing right, draped and cuirassed in the antique manner, with the badge of the Order of the Holy Spirit visible on the breast and a long lock of hair (the so-called 'longue mèche') descending onto the cuirass. The effigy reflects the sovereign's childhood age at the time of issue, rendered in the classicizing style characteristic of Jean Warin. A peripheral Latin legend commences at approximately the 7 o'clock position. |
