| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned royal arms of France — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — centrally positioned in the field, flanked by the Roman numerals V and III denoting the denomination of one-eighth écu. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown rendered in high relief. The circular legend SIT. NOMEN. DOMINI. BENEDICTVM (Blessed be the name of the Lord) surrounds the design, punctuated by stops. The composition reflects the standard heraldic reverse type employed throughout the reign of Louis XIII. |
