| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a royal crown surmounting three fleurs-de-lis arranged in a triangular formation, a classic emblem of the French monarchy. The design is rendered in the late medieval hammered style characteristic of League coinage issued under the Catholic claimant Charles X. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, incorporating the royal title and mint date. The flan is irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered billon coinage of the period. The overall strike is moderately well-centered with some weakness at the margins. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles X was never a king in any practical sense — he was Cardinal Charles de Bourbon, proclaimed by the Catholic League as the legitimate French monarch in opposition to Henri de Navarre, and held prisoner by Henri IV for most of his nominal reign. These billon pieces were struck at League-controlled mints while France was tearing itself apart in the final, most vicious phase of the Wars of Religion. Charles died in captivity in 1590, meaning coins dated 1591 were issued in the name of a man already dead.
