| Obverse description | Central device features a large crowned Gothic letter C occupying the majority of the field, surmounted by a royal crown in relief. A Latin circular legend runs along the outer border, partially legible due to the irregular flan and typical hammered coin wear. The letter C serves as the royal monogram of King Charles IX of France. The overall style is consistent with late 16th-century French hammered billon coinage. |
