| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large ornate cross with foliated terminals bearing leaves and flowers, extending to the edge of the coin and intersecting the surrounding legend. Four fleurs-de-lis are placed in the four angles of the cross, filling the field and emphasizing the royal Capetian heraldic imagery. The overall composition is characteristic of the French royal gold coinage of Philip IV, with elegant Gothic decorative detailing. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philippe IV introduced this coin in 1290, roughly a decade before his far more aggressive monetary manipulations began. The petit royal was part of a deliberate effort to stabilize royal coinage at a moment when the French crown was asserting tighter control over minting privileges previously scattered among feudal lords and ecclesiastical authorities. Within a few years, Philippe would earn the epithet "le Faux-Monnayeur" — the counterfeiter — from his own subjects for the debasements that followed.
The .999 fineness places this among the purest gold issues of the Capetian period, a standard Philippe would not maintain.
