Reverse
A reinterpretation of the historic Franc à cheval, this iconic coin features the gold denomination issued in December 1360 for King Jean II, known as "le Bon". Showing the monarch on horseback charging into battle, this coin was minted to pay the ransom for the release of the sovereign, who was captured by the English during the Hundred Years' War, hence the name "Franc" meaning "Free". The quatrefoils originally featured on the reverse of the historical coin have been modernized to stand alongside the sovereign. Accompanied by vegetal crosses, these decorative elements are evocative of the emerging Gothic style.
