Herrera-13. Obverse: bust of Luis I facing right. Reverse: Luis I, crowned, seated facing forward, holding a sword and globus cruciger; on either side of him, San Isidoro and San Leandro nimbate, seated, in attitude of benediction. This impressive proclamation medal features an intricate portrait of the short-lived king and an elaborate religious scene on the reverse.
