| Obverse description | Central shield of France bearing three fleurs-de-lis arranged in semé, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with fleur-de-lis finials, all set within an inner circle. The surrounding legend reads CAROLVS X D G FRANC REX, with the mint mark LA visible in the field. The overall design follows the standard écu au soleil typology of the French royal coinage, struck in the hammered technique typical of late sixteenth-century Valois issues. |
