| Reverse description | A plain cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, with a stylized leaf or floral ornament occupying one or more of the quarters, a common decorative motif on feudal billon coinage of the Dauphiné region. The cross extends toward the inner circle, with the surrounding Latin circular legend partially visible along the coin's irregular edge. The execution is characteristic of hammered provincial coinage, with uneven strike and variable flan shape. The overall design reflects the modest artistic conventions of small-denomination feudal oboles of the period. |
