Unlike the Agen and Bourges mints, this monogram with the letter C is associated with a long and complete legend. As a reminder, I classified the coins with ''letter C'' in the monogram, when this letter is composed of two horizontal bars placed at the ends and not towards the middle of the vertical bar which indicates in this case, a letter K .
