anepigraph (Saint Cheron with nimbus composed with small dots, standing and holding a long cross in each hand. Two globules arranged vertically under each arm, two globules also arranged vertically to the left and to the right of Saint Cheron. Many dots around the torso of saint cheron?).



Photo of the copy preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (public domain), link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10413736p.r=p%C3%A9pin%20le%20bref%20p%C3%A9pin%20le%20bref?rk=85837;2. Corresponds very well to the old illustrations but with a different form of blank. I think the illustrations improved the visual and sharpened deleted details. It is very likely that the coin in the photo is the one used for the illustrations.

 

It seems that a coin of this type went on sale before the 2000s in a AU state for a price around 18.000 francs.
