| Obverse description | High-relief scene depicting a crowned king seated on a throne upon a raised dais, gesturing authoritatively toward a large assembly of medieval figures including knights in chainmail and courtiers gathered on either side. The composition commemorates the arbitration of Louis IX in the dispute between the houses of Dampierre and Avesnes in 1246, rendered in a mirror-polished field with frosted relief. |
