| Obverse description | Crowned shield bearing the arms of Bourbon — three fleurs-de-lis with a diagonal bend — set within a trefoil border, the three lobes of which each contain a stylized flame. The heraldic composition is rendered in the Gothic feudal tradition, with the shield occupying the central field and the trefoil frame providing a decorative architectural structure. The peripheral legend runs continuously around the outer border in Gothic Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
Peter II inherited Dombes through the Bourbon collateral line and held the principality for barely five years before his death in 1488 transferred it — along with his other titles — into the consolidating grip of the Bourbon duchy. The blanc was struck during a period when French royal ordinances were actively pressuring seigneurial mints to conform to crown weight and fineness standards, a tension that makes attribution of these provincial issues genuinely complicated without die analysis.
Divo's catalog separates this type across two numbers (14 and 15), distinguishing likely die variants rather than substantive monetary differences.
