| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large ornate cross pattée with fleurs-de-lis at each terminal dominates the field, set within a double quadrilobe composed of arched Gothic lobes richly decorated with trefoil and floral ornaments. At the centre of the cross, a small fleur-de-lis is visible. The interstices of the quadrilobe are filled with elaborate Gothic foliage. A beaded inner circle surrounds the central motif, with the Christological legend in Gothic uncial characters occupying the outer border between two beaded rims. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin derives directly from the Treaty of Troyes, signed May 1420, by which Charles VI — mentally incapacitated and effectively controlled by the Burgundian faction — disinherited his own son and recognized Henry V of England as heir to the French throne. The monetary provisions of that treaty required coinage struck in Charles VI's name to continue, maintaining a fiction of French royal legitimacy while English power consolidated in the north.
The dauphin, later Charles VII, struck competing issues from his own reduced territory. Two parallel royal coinages circulated simultaneously, each claiming legitimacy.
