| Reverse description | A bold floriated cross pattée divides the field into four quarters, with a small fleur-de-lis at the centre point. In the upper two angles are placed a porcupine passant (left) and a crowned Gothic letter L (right), and in the lower two angles a crowned Gothic letter L (left) and a porcupine passant (right), all in high relief. The circumferential legend in Gothic lettering reads XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT XPS IMPERAT, the Christogram acclamation traditional on French royal gold coinage, separated from the central device by a plain inner circle with a beaded border at the rim. |
