| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of King Louis XVI in high relief, wearing a powdered wig and drapery, within a beaded inner border. The legend LUDOAICUS XVI REX CHRISTIANISSIMUS curves around the upper periphery, with the engraver's name GATTEAUX inscribed in the lower exergue. The spelling LUDOAICUS (rather than LUDOVICUS) is a known non-conformity of this reproduction. |
