| Reverse description | Central short cross potent with a pellet in each of the four quarters formed by the cross arms, the entire motif enclosed within a quatrefoil of curved lobes. The quatrefoil design creates four distinct compartments framing the cross, with each lobe separated by a cusp, giving the reverse a strongly architectural and heraldic character typical of the Cross in Quatrefoil type. The moneyer's legend and mint name are arranged in two lines or around the central device within the inner circle, separated by the quatrefoil border. A beaded or linear outer circle contains the peripheral legend. The die-cutting reflects the standard royal reverse design mandated for this coinage period. |
