| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Honoré II facing right, with long flowing hair falling to the shoulder, wearing a lace collar and armored cuirass, characteristic of mid-17th century portrait coinage. The effigy is rendered in a bold, slightly crude hammered style typical of the Monaco mint of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. The overall composition conveys the formal dignity of a sovereign princely portrait. |
