| Reverse description | Bold plain cross pattee dividing the field into four quarters, with two dolphins placed in diagonally opposite angles — one in the upper right and one in the lower left canton — serving as the heraldic emblem of the Dauphine. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin religious legend running continuously in the outer margin. The overall composition is characteristic of the hammered billon coinage of Francis I struck at the Grenoble mint. |
