| Beschrijving voorzijde | A bold plain cross divides the field into four quarters, each containing an alternating heraldic charge in relief: two rampant lions and two spread eagles positioned diagonally opposite one another. The quarters are bordered by an inner beaded circle. The peripheral legend in Gothic uncial characters reads MARIE DE BRETAGnIE, identifying the countess as Mary of Brittany, and runs between the inner circle and the irregular coin edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mary of Brittany inherited Saint-Pol through her marriage to Guy IV, Count of Saint-Pol, and exercised comital authority during a period when the county's monetary rights were frequently contested by the French crown. The issue dates place this squarely within the early Valois period, shortly after Philip VI's accession — a moment when regional lords were under mounting pressure to align their coinage with royal standards or risk having minting privileges revoked altogether.
Female-issued medieval French seigneurial coinage is uncommon enough that examples from Saint-Pol under Mary represent a narrow window in the county's numismatic record.
