| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross pattee dominates the reverse field, its four arms each terminating in a fleur-de-lis, forming a cross fleury characteristic of late medieval French royal coinage. A small crown surmounts the top arm of the cross. The four quarters formed by the cross each contain a fleur-de-lis, referencing the royal arms of France. The circular legend SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDICTV (Blessed be the name of the Lord) runs around the periphery in Latin Gothic lettering, separated by pellets, on a typical hammered irregular billon flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The dizain was introduced under Louis XII as a token-value billon coin — worth ten deniers tournois — intended to address the chronic shortage of small change that plagued French daily commerce throughout the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Francis I inherited both the denomination and its problems. The "3rd type" designation reflects successive refinements to the design under his reign, driven partly by counterfeiting pressure on the earlier issues.
The "Franciscus" inscription distinguishes his issues cleanly from his predecessor's, a deliberate assertion of new reign rather than administrative continuity.
