| Obverse description | Shield of France semé of fleurs-de-lis arranged three-two-one on a plain field, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with fleurs-de-lis finials and jeweled base, all within an inner beaded circle. The surrounding legend, separated by a small cross at top, reads LVD DEI GRACIA FRANCOR REX Z IANVE D, identifying Louis XII as King of France and Lord of Genoa. The hammered flan exhibits the characteristic irregular edge typical of late medieval French gold coinage. |
