| Additional information |
This is a modern fantasy piece, not a historical coin. No "cadière" denomination was struck for Anne de Bretagne in 1498 or at any other point — the issue is a collector novelty capitalizing on Anne's enduring cultural profile as the last independent Duchess of Brittany and twice Queen of France. Anne died in 1514; by 1498 her first marriage to Charles VIII was already six years old and Breton monetary autonomy was effectively curtailed.
