| Reverse description | Central device depicts a crowned alerion displayed, the heraldic eaglet without beak or feet that serves as the traditional charge of the arms of Lorraine. The bird is shown with wings spread and is surmounted by a ducal crown. The surrounding circular legend reads MONETA.NOVA.NANCEII., denoting this as a new coinage struck at Nancy. The overall style is consistent with the crude hammered technique characteristic of Lorraine provincial billon issues of this period. |
