| Reverse description | A plain Greek cross with the royal cipher 'H' placed in each of the four angles, forming a cruciform design typical of late sixteenth-century French billon coinage. The date 1593 is incorporated within the surrounding Latin legend, which runs continuously around the outer field within a beaded border. The overall composition is characteristic of the hammered douzain coinage of Henri IV. |
