| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a large floriated cross pattée composed of four fleurs-de-lis arranged at the terminals, with four crowned Carolingian monograms (interlaced Cs) disposed in the four angles of the cross, all within an inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend invokes the triumph of Christ, reading CHRISTVS REGNAT VINCIT ET IMPERAT, punctuated by cross stops. A small letter or device at the base of the cross identifies the mint of issue. The overall design is characteristic of the standard écu au soleil type issued under the Valois kings. |
