| Obverse description | The field depicts two allegorical figures facing one another: the river Loire personified as a reclining male figure leaning on an overflowing urn, and Mercury standing to the right holding a caduceus. The circular legend runs around the rim, with LIGERIS and the date 1653 in the exergue. |
