| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross fleurdelisée divides the field into four quarters, each canton adorned with a fleur-de-lis, emblematic of the French royal and comital traditions associated with the County of Évreux. The arms of the cross terminate in stylized fleur-de-lis finials, giving the design an ornate, heraldic character typical of mid-14th century feudal coinage. A beaded inner circle encloses the cross design, with the circular Latin legend running in the outer field. The legend, interrupted by four fleur-de-lis symbols serving as word dividers, reads COM ESE BRO ICEN, an abbreviated reference to the comital title of Évreux. The overall execution is bold and deeply struck, consistent with hammered billon production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles II of Navarre — "Charles the Bad" — was one of the most destabilizing figures in fourteenth-century France, simultaneously a major French landowner and a foreign sovereign with his own claim to the French throne. This coin circulated during decades when Charles was variously allied with the English, imprisoned by Jean II, and implicated in the murder of the Constable of France. The County of Évreux, his principal French holding, issued billon coinage under his authority throughout this turbulent period despite repeated royal confiscations and restorations of his Norman lands.
Charles died in 1387 under circumstances reported as grotesque even by medieval standards — allegedly consumed by fire when an alcohol-soaked linen wrapping, prescribed as medical treatment, ignited.
