The image shows a round gold medallion featuring a sculpted profile portrait of Henri IV. The subject of the sculpture is a bearded man with an elaborate hairstyle, where his hair is tied at the back with a ribbon. He is depicted wearing a richly detailed and ornate garment. The material of the sculpture is gold. The medallion has a loop at the top. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription that reads "HENRICVS.IIII.D.G.FRANCOR.ET. NAVARR. REX." The craftsmanship captures fine details in both the facial features and the clothing.
