| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Henry IV facing left, rendered in the medieval Catalan hammered style with bold, angular features. The royal effigy depicts the king wearing an ornate crown, with visible drapery at the shoulder. The legend is struck in Latin capital letters and runs continuously around the periphery, contained between two concentric beaded circles that frame the central design. |
