背面描述	A plain cross pattee occupies the central field, set within a beaded inner circle, a standard type for Breton deniers of this reign. The cross divides the inner field into four equal quadrants. The marginal legend in uncial Latin characters reads MOnETA BRITAnIE, identifying this as the coinage of Brittany. A mint mark appears in the legend, distinguishing issues of Nantes (N) or Rennes (R). The overall style is consistent with late medieval French feudal hammered coinage.

附加信息	Louis XII inherited Brittany through his marriage to Anne of Brittany in 1499 — herself the widow of Charles VIII, who had absorbed the duchy into the French crown through their own 1491 union. The dynastic arithmetic was deliberately complex: Anne had negotiated that Brittany would revert to her heirs, not France, forcing Louis to marry her within a year of Charles's death to keep the duchy from fracturing away. These deniers were struck under that contested arrangement, with Brittany nominally autonomous while functionally French. The LP reference remains unassigned, suggesting the type sits in a gap between the major catalogues.
