| Obverse description | Central cross pattee set within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters. The royal title of Louis IX is rendered in Gothic Latin capitals within the annular legend between the inner beaded circle and an outer beaded border, reading: + LVDOVICVS REX. A second outer legend, separated by a further beaded circle, carries the devotional inscription BNDICTV: SIT: NOmE: DHI: nRI: DEI: IhV. XPI. The legends are executed in the angular, compact Gothic script characteristic of mid-thirteenth-century French royal coinage. |
