| Obverse description | Three-quarter facing bust of Saint Mary Magdalene, nimbed, draped, and shown holding an orb (globus) in her hands, set within a beaded inner circle. The saint is depicted in a Gothic devotional style characteristic of late 15th-century Provençal coinage. A Latin legend surrounds the periphery identifying the issuer as Charles of Anjou, King of Jerusalem and Sicily. |
