CARLVS REX FR (circular legend with letter S retrograde, around a cross surrounded by a circle made up of dots, a cross between FR and CARLVS).

Monogram Karolus:

(1) With the letter A inscribed at the top in the diamond on the middle.

This type, as well as all of its variants, shows a reverse with the legend beginning at 6 a.m., if we put the monogram in the right direction. The letter C on the obverse were probably forgotten during the engraving, then added. Indeed, I observe that it is very small and located in the space remaining between the cross and the letter A.
