According to Duplessy, this issue would be unique with a copy of Lyon in the Cabinet des Médailles. In reality, this issue with the cross on the reverse is well known for Montpellier from examples sold by iNumis, MDC 14, MDC17 or CGB, the latter providing 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". Our copy has this open point 4th, and punctuation by a ringlet on a bezant to the right.
