| Reverse description | The royal arms of France — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — displayed centrally and surmounted by a crown. The shield is set within an ornate cusped or lobed cartouche typical of early 16th-century French heraldic engraving. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Christogram legend running in the outer field around the full circumference of the coin. |
