One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling a central image (see "Inscriptions" field). A crowned coat of arms is divided into four sections. The upper-left and lower-right sections are each quartered with three stylized fleur-de-lis lilies and three elongated lions. The upper-right contains a lion rampant and the lower-left a harp. At the shield's center is a small crest with another lion. Scrollwork and the date 1691 flank the crown.
