Petit Karolus

正面描述	Central field dominated by a large Gothic oncial letter K surmounted by a royal crown, flanked on either side by a fleur-de-lis. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend running between the inner and outer borders. The K initial stands as a royal cypher for Charles VIII, rendered in a bold medieval calligraphic style characteristic of late 15th-century French hammered coinage.

附加信息	Struck under Charles VIII, the Petit Karolus was introduced as part of the monetary reforms following the 1488 ordinance that attempted to rationalize France's notoriously fragmented coinage system — dozens of seigneurial and royal mints were still producing incompatible denominations. Billon issues of this type circulated alongside much heavier silver and gold pieces, filling the critical small-change gap that plagued everyday commerce throughout the late Valois period. Duplessy 594 encompasses pieces from multiple royal mints, and attribution to a specific workshop depends entirely on the mint mark present.
