| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain long cross pattee divides the reverse into four quarters, with a crowned dolphin in the upper-right quarter and a fleur-de-lis in the lower-left quarter, both rendered in the Gothic style typical of early sixteenth-century French provincial coinage. An inner beaded circle frames the central design. The circumferential legend SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDITVM (Blessed be the name of the Lord) runs around the outer field, separated by annulets. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly uneven, as expected for hammered coinage of this type and period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The douzain — worth twelve deniers — was the workhorse coin of early sixteenth-century French commerce, and Francis I struck them in enormous volume across a dozen mints simultaneously. This fifth type introduced the crosslet as a distinguishing mark to differentiate successive emission orders, a necessary administrative tool when the same basic design ran continuously across decades and multiple monetary ordinances. The billon standard itself was repeatedly adjusted downward during his reign as silver reserves were strained by Italian campaign costs.
