| Reverse description | Central field bears a crowned cartouche or oval shield displaying the arms of Cambrésis, featuring a rampant lion, surmounted by a bishop's or archbishop's crown, all within a beaded inner circle. The execution is characteristic of hammered coinage of the period, with some irregularity in strike. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, with word divisions marked by mullets or crosses, attributing the title of archbishop and duke of Cambrai by the grace of God. |
