| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the heraldic style characteristic of Breton ducal coinage. Surrounding the central design is an outer border composed of eleven hollowed-out cinquefoils, with a lion positioned at twelve o'clock completing the decorative ring. The reverse legend + MOnETA BRITAn appears in uncial Latin script within the border, identifying this as Breton currency. The overall composition reflects the feudal aesthetic of mid-14th-century French provincial minting. |
