| Obverse description | Draped bust of Louis XIII facing right, rendered in a crude hammered style characteristic of Catalan municipal coinage of the period. The effigy is depicted with flowing hair and a simple collar, occupying the central field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, enclosed between two beaded circles forming the inner and outer borders of the coin. |
