Franc on foot - Robert II

正面描述	Full-length frontal effigy of Bishop Robert II standing en pied beneath an elaborate Gothic architectural canopy with flanking pinnacles and tracery, rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of 14th-century French episcopal coinage. The bishop is depicted in full episcopal vestments, holding a crozier in his left hand and raising his right hand in benediction. The figure stands on a decorative platform, with trefoil and floral ornaments filling the field to either side. The circumscription in Gothic lettering runs along the outer border, interrupted by pellet stops.

附加信息	The franc à pied was a royal French type introduced by John II in 1360, struck partly to fund his own ransom after capture at Poitiers. Cambrai's bishops, holding the city as an imperial fief while simultaneously navigating French political pressure, were among the ecclesiastical lords who exercised the right to strike imitative gold in this period. Robert de Genève — later the Avignon antipope Clement VII — held the see from 1368 to 1371, making this a coin struck by a man who would soon split the Latin Church.
