| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Charles V facing right, rendered in high relief in the hammered style typical of 16th-century imperial coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with a pronounced jawline and beard, his head crowned with a laurel wreath. The surrounding Latin legend is distributed along the inner border of the coin, reading continuously around the effigy. The field is plain, with the large portrait dominating the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Besançon occupied a peculiar constitutional position — nominally a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire, yet geographically embedded in the Franche-Comté, a territory increasingly under Habsburg pressure. The city's mint continued striking coins in the name of Charles V decades after his 1558 abdication and death, a deliberate legal fiction known as immobilization, designed to preserve the city's autonomous minting rights against encroachment from Philip II's administration.
By 1578–1579, this monetary conservatism had become almost anachronistic. Charles had been dead twenty years.
