| Obverse description | Central field displays a large roman capital letter H, the royal cypher of Henri III, surmounted by a royal crown rendered in relief. The surrounding legend in Latin runs along the irregular flan periphery, giving the king's titles and regnal year. The design is characteristic of the hammered billon coinage of the Valois monarchy, with the crowned H serving as the principal device in the French royal tradition of monogram coinage. |
