Obverse lettering LVD. I. D.G. PRINC. MONOECI.
Reverse description A large ornate cross fleury occupies the central field, its four arms terminating in stylised fleur-de-lis petals, a design characteristic of Monegasque billon coinage of this period. The cross fills the majority of the flan, extending nearly to the inner edge of the legend. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by dot stops, reads CRVX. HOSTIVM. VICTRIX (The Cross, Conqueror of Enemies), with the date 1693 incorporated into the legend at the top of the coin. A small decorative ornament or mint mark is visible in the legend above the cross.
