| Reverse description | Central motif of a floriated cross (croix fleurdelisée) with fleur-de-lis terminals on each arm and a central hollow or recessed boss, executed in the hammered style. The arms of the cross are slightly splayed and decorated, lending a heraldic quality to the design. A circular Latin legend surrounds the cross, referencing Charles of Bourbon as Cardinal Legate of Avignon. The overall composition is consistent with Avignonese legatine coinage of the late 16th century. |
