Reverse description A bold long cross pattée extends to the coin's inner border, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping. An inner beaded circle frames the cross design, with the circular Latin legend SIGNVM CRVCIS distributed in the surrounding annular field. The overall composition follows the standard sterling reverse type widely adopted by French episcopal mints during the 14th century. The strike is characteristic of hammered production, with moderate die wear and surface porosity consistent with long circulation.
