| Obverse description | The field depicts a high-relief scene of the assassination of King Henry IV, showing the royal horse-drawn carriage on a cobblestone Parisian street with the assailant Ravaillac lunging at the open coach. A cityscape with towers and rooftops appears in the background. The circular legend runs along the upper rim, with the date 1610 in the lower exergue flanked by two small rosette ornaments. |
