 On top of the trunnions are dolphin-shaped ornaments, which are used in lifting the gun.The back part consists of, sometimes, an inscription showing the weight of the cannonball (for example a "12" for a 12-pounder), followed by a Latin inscription ""Nec pluribus impar"", meaning that the King is "Not unequal to many (suns)".This is followed by the royal crest of the Bourbon dynasty.
