| Reverse description | A cow walking to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the characteristic style of Béarnais coinage, the cow being the heraldic symbol of the County of Béarn. The animal is shown in profile with discernible body details despite the small module and hammered technique. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design within a beaded border, reading ONOR FORQVAS (Right to Gallows), referencing a feudal jurisdictional privilege of the lords of Béarn. |
