| Beschrijving keerzijde | An ornate floriated cross pattée with fleurs-de-lis at each terminal occupies the central field, dividing the reverse into four quadrants each decorated with a fleur-de-lis. The cross is finely rendered in the Gothic hammered style, with each arm terminating in stylised floral ornaments. A beaded inner circle encloses the cruciform design, while the Christological triumph legend is disposed in the broad outer margin between two beaded borders. |

Philippe IV struck this coin in direct imitation of the Florentine florin, which had dominated European trade finance since the 1250s. The French crown needed a gold coinage credible enough to circulate internationally at a moment when Philippe was bleeding his treasury dry through war with Flanders — the same conflict that had already produced the catastrophe at Courtrai in 1302. Matching Florentine purity was a deliberate political and commercial calculation, not a technical accident.
The "à la reine" designation distinguishes it from the earlier "à l'écu" type within Philippe's gold florin series — Dy 210 places it in a tightly sequenced group issued across a reign defined by monetary manipulation elsewhere.
