| Obverse description | Central field displays a floriated cross with a fleur-de-lis in each quarter, executed in the Gothic hammered style characteristic of Dauphiné billon coinage. The cross is bold and well-centered, with the quadrants each containing a clearly defined fleur-de-lis motif. The coin is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which the circular Latin legend reads '+ KAROLVS: FRAN: REX'. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered medieval production, and the surfaces show typical medieval die-cutting stylization. |
