The image shows a coin or medallion featuring the profile of a man identified as LUDOVICO XVI. The subject has an elaborate 18th-century hairstyle with coiled curls and a large ribbon at the back. He wears a high-collared garment with decorations. The metallic coin appears silver or similar in material, with a smooth, slightly worn surface. The inscription around the edge reads "LUDOVICO XVI FR. ET NAVAR. REGI OPTIMO" and "COMITIA BURGUNDIAE." The sculpture is detailed, especially in the hair and fabric folds, conveying a sense of regality and historical importance.
