Comment

The blanc guénar of Charles VII differs from that of Charles VI by the presence of four crowns on the reverse, instead of the usual two lilies and two crowns. This is a rare coin, with only a handful of half-guenars known to exist. This coin was created at the same time as the gold shield with crown.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le blanc guénar de Charles VII se différencie de celui de Charles VI par la présence de quatre couronnes au revers, au lieu des deux lis et des deux couronnes habituelles. Il s'agit d'une monnaie rare dont le demi-guénar n'est connu qu'à quelques exemplaires. Cette monnaie fut créée en même temps que l'écu d'or à la couronne.
