| Reverse description | A decorative cross formed by four paired interlaced L-monograms, each pair leaning against the other in mirror image, symbolising the royal cipher of Louis XIV; the arms of the cross are cantoned by four fleurs-de-lis in the angles. A crown interrupts the encircling legend at the top. At the centre of a small inner circle, the mint letter identifying the atelier of striking is displayed. The abbreviated Latin legend CHRS REGN VINC IMPO — Christus regnat, vincit, imperat — encircles the design. |
