| Reverse description | Central field displays a crowned French royal coat of arms — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — enclosed within an ornate shield surmounted by a royal crown. A beaded inner border surrounds the central device. The Latin legend POPVLI° COMMODITAS, meaning 'for the convenience of the people,' runs along the outer margin, referencing the civic and utilitarian purpose of this small copper denomination. The execution is characteristic of late medieval Italian hammered coinage, with a broad, irregular flan and bold if somewhat weakly struck devices. |
