| Reverse description | A bold scalloped or lobed cross occupies the central field, its four arms creating four cantons, each alternately charged with a fleur-de-lis or a royal coronet, forming a symmetrical heraldic composition. The surrounding legend, SIT. NOMEN. DNI. BENEDIC. 1625., is a devotional invocation meaning 'Blessed be the Name of the Lord,' with the date integrated into the inscription. The overall design reflects the refined milled coinage technique introduced under Briot's influence at the Paris Mint. The beaded border frames the composition neatly, consistent with the high-quality mechanical production of the period. |
