| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the crowned royal shield of France semé de lis, surmounted by a large fleur-de-lis crown with elaborate Gothic detailing. The crowned arms display three fleurs-de-lis on the escutcheon in the France moderne arrangement. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the royal legend in Gothic uncial characters running continuously around the outer margin. Lis stops punctuate the legend at intervals, typical of late 15th-century French royal coinage. |
