背面描述	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.

附加信息	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.
