In reality, this issue with the cross on the reverse is well known for Montpellier from examples sold by iNumis, MDC 14 or CGB, the latter giving the following details: "le 12 novembre 1427 fut ordonné en la ville de Montpellier faire moutons à vingt carats, à un quart de carat de remède et de quatre-vingt-seize de poids au marc, et pour différence des susdicts ont un point ouvert dessoubs le d dei". Note that our copy is however with closed point 4e and punctuation by stars on the right.
