| Reversbeschreibung | A plain cross pattée extending to the inner beaded border, dividing the field into four quarters and bisecting the surrounding legend. The arms of the cross are bold and flat-ended, characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the late medieval Lorraine ecclesiastical mints. The legend, reading in two words around the cross, identifies the place of coinage as Marsal. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, as typical of issues of this denomination and period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Rudolph of Coucy held the see of Metz from 1388 until his death in 1415, a tenure spanning the most fractious decades of the Hundred Years' War and the Western Schism — a period when ecclesiastical authority in Lorraine was contested on multiple fronts simultaneously. The Bishopric of Metz retained the right to strike its own coinage long after comparable ecclesiastical mints in France had ceded that privilege to the crown, making these issues a direct assertion of episcopal independence at a moment when it was anything but guaranteed.
The 'Angevine' denomination type takes its name from Angevin monetary traditions that filtered into Lorraine through long commercial contact. At 0.4 g in billon, these circulated at the lowest practical level of daily exchange.
