| Reverse description | Two fleurs-de-lis arranged in the field, serving as the principal heraldic device of the French royal coinage. The legend commences at 12 o'clock and is enclosed within an inner circle of approximately 11 mm diameter, either plain or pearled. The mint mark B (for Rouen) appears below the device on most issues, while the earliest variety (type 0) omits the workshop letter entirely. The reverse legend incorporates the denomination DENIER TOURNOIS followed by the date, with various ornamental punctuation marks and privy marks — including a sphere, a cut flower, and a crown of thorns — used to differentiate individual die varieties. |
