| Beschrijving voorzijde | Quartered shield of arms at center, displaying the fleurs-de-lis of France and the dolphin of the Dauphine in alternating quarters, all within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding circular legend in uncial Latin reads FRANCISCVS FRANCORV REX, identifying Francis I as King of France. The shield is rendered in the late medieval heraldic style typical of French hammered billon coinage, with no additional ornamentation in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The douzain was introduced by royal ordinance in 1488 as part of a broader effort to stabilize petty coinage after decades of debasement had eroded public confidence in billon currency. Francis I inherited both the denomination and its problems. His third type for the Dauphiné represents a regional variant struck under provincial authority, distinguishing it from the main royal series — the Dauphiné had retained certain minting privileges dating to its annexation by the French crown in 1349, when the future Charles V purchased the province from Humbert II.
