| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an adaptation of the celebrated medieval gold coin known as the 'franc à cheval,' originally issued by King Jean II (Jean le Bon) of France in 1360. The central motif shows the armored king mounted on horseback in full gallop, charging to the left, wearing a crown and carrying a drawn sword raised aloft. The horse and rider are rendered in high relief with detailed Gothic stylistic treatment, evoking the original 14th-century coinage. The design commemorates the historical context of the Hundred Years' War, during which Jean II was captured at the Battle of Poitiers and the franc à cheval was struck to finance his ransom and reassert royal authority. |
