| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned shield of France bearing three fleurs-de-lis, flanked on either side by the Roman numerals II, forming the designation II·II to indicate the quarter-écu denomination. The crown surmounts the shield in the upper field. The mint mark of Saint-Lô (letter C) appears in the exergue or as a workshop mark within the legend. The circumferential legend reads SIT·NOMEN·DOMINI·BENEDICTUM, a standard pious inscription employed on French royal silver coinage of this period, struck in Latin capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henri IV's quarter-écu coinage was minted under conditions of near-constant disruption. The king spent the first years of his reign fighting to actually control the country he had inherited, and mint operations across France reflected that instability — some facilities struck for the League, others for Henri, and output was intermittent at best. The 5th type introduced a revised design to distinguish legitimately royal coinage from the competing issues struck in his name by towns and mints of uncertain loyalty.
Specimens from provincial mints — Bayonne, Rennes, Bordeaux — often show rougher workmanship than Paris issues, a direct consequence of workforce disruptions during the Wars of Religion.
