| Obverse description | Bare-headed draped bust of Duke Charles III facing right, exhibiting finely engraved curly hair and naturalistic facial features consistent with late Renaissance portraiture as practiced in 16th-century Lorraine. The effigy wears a ruffled collar, rendered with careful linear engraving characteristic of hammered coinage of this period. The bust is positioned centrally within the coin's field, with the surrounding area providing a recessed ground. A circular Latin legend runs along the border, separated from the central effigy by the coin's rim. |
