| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a plain cross displayed within a quatrefoil frame, with annulets decorating the interior angles of each lobe, creating a distinctive cantonned appearance. The quatrefoil is set within a beaded or plain inner circle, beyond which runs the circular reverse legend in uncial Gothic script. The overall layout follows the standard double tournois type for the Dauphine, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the Valois period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis XI inherited the Dauphiné not as king but as the rebellious dauphin who had governed the province in defiance of his father Charles VII — fleeing to Burgundy in 1456 rather than face arrest. When he finally ascended the throne in 1461, he retained the Dauphiné's distinct monetary tradition rather than immediately folding it into the royal coinage, a pragmatic acknowledgment of provincial identity from a ruler who preferred political maneuvering to direct confrontation.
The billon content of these pieces varied considerably across the reign as Louis repeatedly manipulated alloy standards to extract seigniorage revenue — a chronic habit that drew formal complaints from merchants throughout the Loire valley.
