| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross with a crown at each terminal, occupying the full field within a beaded inner circle. In the two diagonally opposite angles of the cross appear fleurs-de-lis, and in the remaining two angles ermine spots, combining the royal French and Breton heraldic devices. The surrounding legend reads SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTVM with mintmark R for Rennes. The composition is typical of the Dizain coinage struck under Francis I for Brittany. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The dizain was introduced under Charles VIII as part of an effort to stabilize Breton currency following the duchy's absorption into France through the marriage of Anne of Brittany. Francis I inherited a monetary system still partly governed by Breton precedent, and this 2nd type reflects adjustments made as royal mints brought local issues into closer alignment with the broader French billon coinage — a process that was administrative as much as economic.
Ciani's silence on this piece is worth noting; Duplessy's attribution at Dy royales #862 remains the standard reference for serious attribution work on this type.
