Beschrijving keerzijde A bold long cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each bearing alternating heraldic devices: the fleurs-de-lis of France and the dauphins of the Dauphiné, referencing Charles VIII's territorial title as former Dauphin. The quadrilobe arrangement is enclosed within a plain inner circle, and the whole is surrounded by a beaded border. The circumferential Latin legend + SIT° NOMEN° DNI° BENEDICTVM (Blessed be the name of the Lord) is separated by pellet stops, a pious inscription standard on French royal billon coinage of the period. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, consistent with hand-hammered production at a Dauphiné mint.

Aanvullende informatie

Charles VIII inherited the throne at thirteen, leaving effective control of France to his sister Anne de Beaujeu during the regency years — a period marked by the failed Guerre Folle rebellion of the great lords, who resented being governed by a woman. Billon issues like this one circulated through that turbulent decade before Charles asserted personal rule and launched his catastrophic Italian campaign of 1494.

The Dauphiné attribution is administratively significant: the province retained distinct minting privileges long after its annexation to the French crown in 1349.
