| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Napoleon IV facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed wavy hair. The legend NAPOLEON IV EMPEREUR arcs around the upper field, with the word ESSAI appearing in the lower field below the truncation. The engraver's signature C DE F. (Charles de Fremond) appears at the base of the neck truncation. The overall style reflects the academic portrait tradition of French Imperial coinage essais. |
