| Obverse description | A large plain cross divides the field into four quarters, with alternating cows passant and the letter H in the opposing angles, all enclosed within a circular border. The cross is bold and bold-armed, characteristic of the Béarn regional coinage tradition. The surrounding legend in Latin reads HENRI D G FRA NAVA R D B, abbreviating Henry's titles as King of France, Navarre, and Duke of Béarn. The overall design reflects the feudal provincial style of late 16th-century French hammered billon coinage. |
