| Beschrijving keerzijde | A floriated cross with elaborately branching Gothic trefoil terminals occupies the central field, set within a quadrilobe frame whose cusped lobes are filled with curling foliate ornament and fleurs-de-lis issuing from the angles of the cross. The overall design exemplifies the sophisticated Gothic decorative vocabulary of the late 14th- and early 15th-century French royal mint. The circumferential Latin legend, separated by mullet stops, reads + XPC * VIИCIT * XPC * REGИAT * XPC * IИPERAT (Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands), a formula of royal and divine authority traditional on French royal gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles VI ruled France for 42 years, but much of that reign was consumed by debilitating episodes of madness — the first struck in 1392 when he attacked his own knights in a forest outside Le Mans, killing four. During his incapacitations, the Burgundian and Armagnac factions fought for regency control, and monetary policy lurched accordingly. Gold coinage was repeatedly debased, recalled, and re-issued as each faction temporarily seized the treasury, making precise attribution within this type's long production window genuinely difficult.
The conflicting references across Friedberg and Duplessis reflect real typological variation across the issue's 35-year span rather than cataloging error.
