Reverse description A bold cross pattée divides the reverse into four quarters, with a trident-like ornament or fleur-de-lis motif placed in the second quarter. The cross extends to the beaded inner circle, creating a well-defined cruciform design characteristic of Breton feudal deniers. The surrounding legend attributes the coin to the mint of Guingamp. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of late 13th-century hammered production.
