| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the crowned shield of Navarre, bearing the traditional chains device arranged in orle, cross, and saltire pattern characteristic of the Kingdom of Navarre. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown with fleurs-de-lis and cross fitchy finials. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend reading COMES : EBROISCENSIS (Count of Évreux), referencing Carlos III's comital title in Normandy. The die-work is typical of late 14th-century Navarrese hammered silver coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central motif consisting of a plain cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters, each containing a small crowned heraldic shield alternating the arms of Navarre (chains) and the royal lily (Évreux-Navarre dynastic arms). The cross is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential Latin legend + K : DEI : GRA : NAVARRE : REX (K[arolus] by the grace of God King of Navarre) runs between the inner beaded border and the outer irregular flan edge, characteristic of hammered medieval groat coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carlos III inherited the Navarrese throne in 1387 following the death of his father Carlos II — "el Malo" — whose catastrophic political maneuvering had left the kingdom financially exhausted and territorially diminished. The grueso was Navarre's adaptation of the French gros, a denomination that had circulated widely across the Pyrenean frontier, and Carlos III's early coinage reflects a deliberate effort to stabilize a monetary system his father had repeatedly debased to fund failed conspiracies against Castile and France.
Cru#251 places this issue firmly within the opening years of his reign, before the monetary reforms of the 1390s tightened standards.
