Douzain with porcupine - Louis XII

正面描述	Central field dominated by the crowned royal arms of France, displaying three fleurs-de-lis on a plain shield beneath a large royal crown. The shield is set within a plain inner circle, with the circular legend running along the outer periphery in Gothic lettering. The porcupine badge of Louis XII, adopted as his personal emblem from the Order of Saint Michael, may appear as a mint or privy mark depending on the issuing workshop. The entire composition is executed in the late Gothic style typical of early 16th-century French hammered coinage, with bold relief on the shield and crown.

背面描述	A bold Greek cross with expanding arms divides the field into four quarters, each containing a fleur-de-lis in high relief, referencing the royal arms of France. The cross is set within a plain inner circle, and the circumferential legend in Gothic Latin characters runs along the outer border. The overall design is characteristic of the douzain type issued under Louis XII, reflecting the devotional and heraldic conventions of early 16th-century French hammered billon coinage. The flan is irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered issues of this period.
