Reverse description The reverse reproduces the design of a medieval Gros struck during the reign of Pope Clement VI (1342–1352), the third Avignon Pope, known as 'Le Magnifique' (The Magnificent). The central field displays the papal cross and characteristic Gothic lettering typical of 14th-century French ecclesiastical coinage. The inscription references Clement VI and the Avignon papacy, evoking the period when the Holy See was established in Avignon. The design faithfully echoes the numismatic aesthetic of the original medieval Gros, integrating it within the broader 'Monnaie de Paris Coin of History' commemorative framework.
