| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée with deeply indented arms, each extremity terminating in a fleur-de-lys, forming a quatrefoil cross arrangement in the central field. The circumferential legend in Latin, introduced by a key privy mark, reads: SIT.NOMEN.DNI.BENEDICT., a devotional phrase meaning 'Blessed be the name of the Lord.' The overall reverse design is characteristic of the French royal billon coinage of Henri IV's reign. |

Henri IV struck this douzain in 1593, the most politically volatile year of his reign — the same year he famously converted from Protestantism to Catholicism in July, reportedly quipping that "Paris is worth a mass." The conversion was, above all, a fiscal and military calculation: it collapsed the Catholic League's justification for resistance and opened the gates of the capital without a siege.
The 4th type classification in Duplessy reflects successive design adjustments made as Henri consolidated royal minting authority across a kingdom that had, for years, operated with competing monetary jurisdictions loyal to the League.
