| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a semis of three fleurs-de-lis arranged in a triangular composition within a beaded inner circle, evoking the traditional arms of France ancient. Each fleur-de-lis is depicted with characteristic Gothic stylization, with curling lateral petals and a central upright petal. The surrounding circular legend in Latin is separated from the inner device by the beaded border. The overall execution reflects the hammered coinage technique of the late 15th-century French royal mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The double tournois of Charles VIII belongs to a coinage system that had been steadily debased across the fifteenth century, with billon content dropping to the point where contemporaries sometimes refused the coins outright. Charles inherited a monetary mess from Louis XI and spent much of his reign issuing edicts attempting to stabilize small change — with limited success. The "niquet" nickname, applied colloquially to coins of this type, derived from popular slang for low-value billon pieces and stuck long after official nomenclature moved on.
Dy royales 607A is among the scarcer attributions within the Charles VIII double tournois sequence, reflecting a specific emission from the 1489 monetary ordinance.
