| Reverse description | Central field features a cross pattee with salamanders in the four angles, each rendered in the hammered style typical of French billon coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. The letter X, denoting the mint of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, appears in the lower canton of the cross. A beaded inner circle separates the central design from the surrounding devotional legend, which runs continuously around the outer margin. |
