| Reverse description | A long cross pattée extending to the coin's beaded inner border divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a trefoil of pellets arranged in a triangular grouping. The cross pattée arms terminate in splayed, slightly curved ends characteristic of the Treaty period coinage. A circular uncial Latin legend is distributed across the four quadrants reading VIL LA·C ALE SIE, identifying the Calais mint, which was the sole issuer of pennies during this period. |

| Additional information |
The Treaty period designation marks the years between the Treaty of Brétigny (1360) and its effective collapse, during which Edward III held the title King of France but formally renounced his claim in exchange for full sovereignty over an expanded Aquitaine. That diplomatic settlement never fully held — French compliance was incomplete from the start — but it defined the official titulature on coinage struck during these years. North 1266 is distinguished from adjacent fourth coinage types by the absence of the French royal title, a direct numismatic reflection of that short-lived treaty obligation.
