| Reverse description | A floriated cross with an ornate H at its center, the letter serving as the royal cipher of Henri IV. The date of issue flanks the lower arm of the cross in the field. A continuous Latin legend encircles the entire design, invoking the Pauline phrase attesting divine grace. The overall composition is typical of French quarter-franc coinage of the late sixteenth century, with the floral terminals of the cross arms providing decorative articulation. |
