Comment
(fr)A la différence du "Gros de Roi" de la 2° émission (1555 - DY n° 518a) , ce "Gros de Roi" présente au revers une croix fleurdelisée plus grande et plus fine . M. J. Duplessy (commentaire tiré de "les monnaies françaises royales" tome I 1988)
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Gros de roi" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VII of France, who was known for his efforts to stabilize the French economy and promote trade. The coin's design features the king's name and title, "King Charles VII of France," and the mintage date, "1447." The coin's silver content and weight, 3.599 grams, also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
