| Reverse description | Central cross formed by four interlaced and entwined dolphins arranged head-to-tail, their bodies curving to create the arms of the cross. A cross of Lorraine, symbol of the Guise family and French royal connection, is placed in each of the four quarters between the arms of the dolphin cross. The date 1558 appears within the encircling Latin legend. The overall composition is bold and heraldic, reflecting the dynastic ambitions of the Franco-Scottish royal union. |
