| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prominent cross pattée and fleury occupies the centre of the reverse, its four arms terminating in fleurs-de-lis and displaying the characteristic budded or trefoil decorative elaboration at each extremity associated with the fleury cross type. A small fleur-de-lis appears at the very centre of the cross. The surrounding peripheral legend in Latin, separated by cross and pellet stops, bears a devotional inscription invoking adoration of the cross. The hammered flan shows the typical slight irregularity of the period, with the legend occasionally weakly struck at the margins. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles X was the Catholic League's puppet king — never crowned at Reims, never in control of Paris, and never recognized by the majority of France. He issued coins not from royal mints but from League-held cities, with Chartres, Rennes, and Toulouse among the few places still striking in his name. The competing Henri IV was simultaneously issuing his own coinage, meaning this piece circulated in a France literally divided between two men each claiming the throne.
Charles died in 1590, yet the League continued striking coins in his name until 1594, when Henri IV finally secured Paris and the fiction collapsed.
