| Reverse description | Central field displaying a bold cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters, with a fleur-de-lis and a royal crown placed in diagonally opposite angles, a characteristic compositional device of the French petit blanc series. The reverse legend, in Gothic uncial lettering, reads + SIT* nOmEn* DnI* BEnEDITVm (Blessed be the name of the Lord), running along the outer border within a beaded circle. The flan is irregular and slightly curved, consistent with hammered production methods of the period. The mixed majuscule and minuscule letterforms are characteristic of late medieval French royal coinage. |
