| Obverse description | Draped bust of Honoré II facing right, rendered in a robust baroque style typical of mid-17th century hammered coinage. The effigy depicts the prince with long flowing hair falling to the shoulder and a lace collar visible below the truncation. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's field, with the circular Latin legend interrupted by pellets serving as word dividers around the full periphery. |
