| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a plain inner circle, two fleurs-de-lis flank a central diagonal line or baton, evoking the traditional tournois design derived from the abbey of Saint-Martin de Tours. The fleurs-de-lis are rendered in fine relief against a flat field. The circumscribed Latin legend naming the denomination and date runs around the outer border, beginning with a cross pattée at the top. A beaded or milled border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Denier Tournois was by 1576 a thoroughly exhausted denomination — a medieval workhorse coin whose value had been so eroded by centuries of debasement that striking one in silver was an explicit statement of intent rather than a practical monetary decision. This piece is a pattern, produced not for circulation but to demonstrate a proposed type to the relevant authority before committing to full production. Louis II de Bourbon-Montpensier had held Dombes since 1560, and the principality's semi-autonomous minting rights made it one of the few territories outside the French royal administration capable of issuing its own coinage during the religious wars.
Whether this type ever advanced beyond the pattern stage is not firmly established in the literature.
