| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of Francis I facing right, wearing an ornate crown and a richly decorated collar with heraldic detailing. The king's effigy is rendered in a bold, late-Gothic style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century French hammered coinage. The portrait is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend, interrupted by a crowned initial at the start, reads FRANCISCVS D G FRANCORVM REX, identifying the monarch as King of the Franks by the grace of God. |
