| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned royal arms of France — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — surmounted by a royal crown of France. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend FRANCISCVS FR [...] running along the outer margin, partially visible due to the irregular flan typical of hammered coinage. |

The four quadrants formed by the cross each contain a fleur-de-lis or decorative motif in Gothic style. The outer legend reads SIT NOMEN DNI [...], an abbreviated devotional invocation, partially legible around the irregularly struck flan. |
