| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned arms of France — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — surmounted by a large royal crown with elaborate fleurons and supported by two smaller crowns at the flanks, all executed in the late Gothic hammered style characteristic of the Aix-en-Provence mint. A finely beaded inner circle separates the armorial design from the surrounding legend. The peripheral inscription in uncial Latin reads LVDOVICVS DEI GRA FRACOR REX COMES P VECIE, identifying Louis XII as king of the Franks and count of Provence. The irregular flan exhibits typical characteristics of hand-struck medieval gold coinage, with a slightly uneven border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a large cross pattée with crosslets — a cross of Jerusalem type — occupying the full inner circle, with a small crosslet in each of the four quarters formed by the arms of the cross. A beaded inner circle encloses the design, separating it from the outer legend. The peripheral inscription in uncial Latin reads XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT XPS IMPERAT, the traditional Carolingian acclamation affirming the sovereignty of Christ. The mint mark A, denoting the Aix-en-Provence mint, appears at the base of the cross. The overall execution is consistent with hammered gold coinage of the early sixteenth-century French royal series. |
