| Reverse description | A large cross fleurdelisée dominates the field, its four arms terminating in fleurs-de-lis and joined at the center by a quadrilobe ornament enclosing a rosette. The overall design exhibits the refined engraving style associated with Jean Warin's milled coinage reform. The continuous circular legend surrounds the cross, incorporating the date 1642 at the top of the field. The coin's milled edge and precise striking are hallmarks of the mechanised production introduced at the Paris Mint during Louis XIII's reign. |
