| Obverse description | Right-facing armored bust of François I, wearing a closed crown, rendered in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The king is depicted in cuirass, with fine detail in the hair and facial features characteristic of early French Renaissance portraiture. The surrounding legend reads in Latin, interrupted by stops, identifying the monarch as King of France by the grace of God. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hammered coinage of the period. |
