| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consists of a plain cross pattée set within a quadrilobe or four-lobed inner frame, with a pellet or small roundel placed in each of the four angles formed between the arms of the cross and the lobing. The design follows the standard tournois type inherited from Capetian royal coinage and widely adopted by French feudal mints. A beaded inner border encloses the central motif, and the surrounding legend carries the pious inscription DATE DABITVR VOBIS, a Gospel reference (Luke 6:38). The lettering is in Gothic capitals, consistent with ecclesiastical and feudal monetary conventions of the period. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, as expected for hammered billon coinage of this era. |

Dombes occupied a peculiar legal position in late medieval France — technically a sovereign principality on the Saône plain, it maintained the right to strike its own coinage well after most comparable lordships had lost that privilege. John II held the title from 1456 until his death in 1488, and his billon issues reflect a principality caught between asserting independence and accommodating the growing monetary reach of the French crown.
The Divo Dombe classification places this among the better-documented Dombes types, though surviving examples with legible legends are genuinely uncommon given the thin billon flans typical of the series.
