| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, prominent fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with boldly stylised petals and volutes. The central device is surrounded by a beaded inner circle, beyond which a continuous border of eleven fleurs-de-lis alternating with small decorative elements fills the intermediate zone. A further beaded border encloses the abbreviated reverse legend, the whole composition reflecting the characteristic Valois royal heraldic imagery of the mid-14th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philippe VI struck this gros during the early years of the Hundred Years' War, when sustained military expenditure against Edward III was already degrading the French silver coinage. The billon composition here reflects deliberate debasement policy — the royal mint was systematically reducing the silver content of circulating gros issues across this period, a practice that provoked widespread complaints from merchants and money-changers and was formally protested by the Paris bourgeoisie in 1343.
The 1341–1342 window is narrow, placing this issue just before the monetary ordinance of 1343 that temporarily stabilized French coinage under pressure from commercial interests.
