Comment
Differentiation from the coins of JOHN IV is due to the presence of the annulus under the legends (except for coins issued at the beginning of the reign). The O is pointed and has a smaller diameter.Variations in punctuation on the right and reverse sides, and in the position of the annulus.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the nine ermines - which were a symbol of the Duchy of Brittany and represented the nine ancient tribes of Brittany.
