| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a crowned quartered shield of arms combining the fleur-de-lis of Bourbon (France) with the cross and eagles of Lorraine, surmounted by a royal crown with elaborate detailing. The escutcheon is flanked by the initials of the two rulers in the field. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the abbreviated Latin legend running along the outer border identifying Francis of Bourbon and Louise-Marguerite of Lorraine as co-rulers of Château-Regnault. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device features a floriated cross pattée with fleur-de-lis terminals at each arm, set within a beaded inner circle. The cross is boldly struck in the hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century French feudal coinage. A continuous Latin legend in capital letters encircles the design within a beaded border, citing the Biblical passage from Psalm 19 attesting to the fame of the rulers spreading across the earth. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Château-Regnault was a tiny principality on the Meuse in the Ardennes, and its right to strike coin depended entirely on the couple who held it — Francis of Bourbon-Conti and his wife Louise-Marguerite of Lorraine. The second type of this quarter écu was issued across nearly a decade, an unusually long production window for so minor a mint, likely reflecting the principality's determination to assert whatever coinage privileges remained to it before Bourbon consolidation made such autonomy increasingly difficult to defend.
Boudeau 1829 distinguishes this from the first type by subtle differences in the quartering of the arms rather than any change in module or weight.
