The image shows a sketch of a medal featuring a profile view of a man's head with distinct curls and texture. He wears a laurel wreath, with prominent facial features and the engraved words "LOUIS PHILIPPE DERNIER ROI DES FRANÇAIS" and the date "1848" surrounding his head. Faint outlined text and details are visible in the background. Below the medal, French words indicate that this design is proposed for minting at the National Mint.
