One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling an image (see "Inscriptions" field). Four scepters radiate from a central lion shield, separating four crowned coats of arms. The sections feature three lions, three stylized fleur-de-lis, a harp, and a single lion. Latin text circles the edge, reading "MAG BR FRA ET HIB REX." The circular coin has a raised, beaded border and a textured surface.
