| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consisting of a large ornate cross composed of interlaced crowned letters, forming a decorative monogram within a circular wreath or cartouche adorned with floral sprigs at the four cardinal points. The design is contained within a beaded inner border. The circumferential Latin legend IN OMNEM TERRAM SONVS EORVM, accompanied by the date 1614, encircles the central device, the motto being drawn from Psalm 19 and translating as 'Their sound went out into all the earth.' The bold, somewhat irregular strike is consistent with hammered production techniques of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Château-Regnault was a tiny enclave on the Meuse in the Ardennes, and its right to strike coin was never uncontested. Louise Marguerite de Lorraine, Princess of Conti, inherited the principality through her husband François de Bourbon and exercised that minting privilege aggressively — this double écu being the most substantial of her issues. French royal authorities repeatedly challenged autonomous coinages from such minor lordships during the early Bourbon consolidation, making the 1614 date significant: it falls squarely in the regency of Marie de Médicis, when central enforcement was inconsistently applied.
KM# 1.1 distinguishes the earlier die state; a second variety exists with a slightly repositioned mintmark.
