This type is altered from the earlier issues: the duke rides to the right, on the other his cloak and the caparison of his horse are not decorated with lys. The reverse still bears a cross fleury, but the center is overlaid with the quartered arms of Burgundy.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>For those not familar with the Flanders Louis de Male type</p><p>franc d’or a’ cheval or cavalier&nbsp; from the mid 1300s.
