Comments

There is a variant of this coin with an initial cross formed of four triangles (✠). Coins of this variant are of a lower denomination: 150-170 ‰. (Dumas-Dubourg).

Among the coins of the variant with the potentate cross (☩), a variety exists with the trefoils in the 1st and 4th cantons of the cross (instead of the 2nd and 3rd cantons). This variety is not listed by Poey-d'Avant, Barthélémy or Dumas-Dubourg.
