| Reverse description | An elaborate Gothic floral cross with trefoil terminals occupies the centre of the field, its arms extending to the four quadrants, each quadrant filled with a smaller floral or foliate ornament. The whole design is set within a cusped quatrefoil frame, creating a rich interplay of Gothic decorative motifs. A beaded inner border separates the central quatrefoil from the surrounding legend, which bears the traditional Christus vincit formula in uncial Latin characters. The overall composition is typical of the Burgundian gold écu coinage of the early fifteenth century. |
