"Penning met het portret van Hendrik II, koning van Frankrijk," a 1719 etching by Bernard Picart, depicts a profile bust of King Henry II of France within a circular frame. The image is framed by elaborate rococo scrolls and topped by a central ornate banner. The reverse side of the coin features a laurel wreath inscription "RESTITVTA," which appears to be a commemorative inscription. The etching is an example of 18th-century portraiture, featuring finely rendered detail and elegant ornamentation, characteristic of the Baroque style.
