Franc a Pied Pubblico Deposited
An early French gold coin which receives its name from the prominent figure of the ruler standing on foot under a canopy. It was also called the Fleur-de-Lis from the large number of these devices which are found on it. It was introduced by Charles V (1364-1380), and was copied in Ligny, Provence, and the Low Countries in general.
