| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a large crowned quartered shield of arms, displaying fleurs-de-lis and barry elements associated with the arms of Château-Regnault, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin reads MONETA NOVA ARGENTIA CHA, denoting the silver coinage of Château-Regnault. The crown surmounting the shield is rendered in a Renaissance style typical of early seventeenth-century French feudal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Château-Regnault was a tiny principality on the Meuse in the Ardennes, and its right to strike coin was perpetually contested by the French crown. Louise Marguerite de Bourbon-Conti — widow of François de Bourbon, Prince of Conti — held the territory and exercised that minting privilege aggressively, producing a range of denominations that Paris considered an irritant. The French monarchy's ongoing campaign to suppress seigneurial coinage rights makes any surviving piece from this mint a direct artifact of that jurisdictional friction.
The escalin was a denomination borrowed from the Spanish Netherlands, which tells you something about where this border principality oriented its commercial relationships.
