| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross with broad arms is centered within the field, its ends reaching toward the inner circle that separates the central device from the surrounding legend. The cross divides the field into four quadrants, unornamented and characteristic of the simple ecclesiastical minor coinage of the period. The legend runs continuously around the outer margin in Latin, invoking divine authority. The irregular flan and flat strike are consistent with hand-hammered billon production of the late fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eustace of Levis held the archiepiscopal see of Arles during a period when the city had only recently been absorbed into the French crown — Louis XI annexed Provence in 1481, a shift that effectively curtailed the independent coinage rights that Arles had exercised for centuries. Issues from Eustace's episcopate therefore straddle two political realities: the last years of genuine Provençal autonomy and the first years of French royal pressure on feudal minting privileges. The absence of a Boudeau number suggests this piece was either unknown or unresolved in that corpus at the time of publication.
