| Obverse description | Armoured and draped bust of Honoré II facing right, wearing a gorget and elaborately decorated cuirass with lace collar visible beneath. The effigy occupies the majority of the field in a bold, high-relief portrait typical of 17th-century Baroque coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by a cross at the beginning. |
