| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a large plain Latin cross with equal arms extending nearly to the inner beaded circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. The cross is boldly struck in high relief and serves as the primary device, consistent with standard feudal denier typology of medieval France. A beaded inner border frames the central cross, beyond which the circumferential legend is struck in uncial characters. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, as is common for hammered billon deniers of this period and region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John III inherited the Viscounty of Limoges through his mother Yolanda, who held it as a dependency of the Duchy of Brittany — an arrangement that made Limoges coinage an assertion of ducal reach into a geographically distant lordship. The joint naming of Isabel of Castile, his wife, on the coinage was uncommon for viscounty-level issues and likely reflects deliberate political signaling during a period when John was navigating relationships with both the French crown and Iberian allies.
Billon output from Limoges in this period was notoriously inconsistent in alloy quality.
