| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold floriated cross pattée occupies the central field, dividing it into four quarters, each containing alternating crowned fleurs-de-lis and crowned royal ermines or lis, consistent with the heraldic quartering of Francis I. Annulets appear at the quadrant angles between the cross arms and the inner circle. The surrounding legend SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTVM F — a devotional invocation meaning 'Blessed be the name of the Lord' — runs in Latin Gothic lettering between concentric beaded borders. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The annulet-marked variant of Francis I's Grand Blanc sits in a transitional moment for French billon coinage — the king's monetary ordinances of the early sixteenth century repeatedly revised silver fineness downward as war expenditure, particularly the Italian campaigns, strained royal finances. The annulets themselves are privy marks used to distinguish issues by mint or emission period, and without a confirmed mint attribution on a given specimen, precise dating within the 1515–1540 window remains an exercise in die study rather than documentary record.
Dy royales 835A places this squarely within a small subseries; the Ciani gap is notable given that collection's otherwise thorough Francis I coverage.
