| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the châtel tournois, a stylized representation of the tower of the castle of Tours, shown as a turreted structure with a central doorway and flanking elements, all rendered in the conventional schematic manner of Capetian billon and silver coinage. A beaded inner border encircles the tower, with the civic legend running around the periphery between inner and outer borders. The flan is irregular and the relief varies, consistent with hand-hammered manufacture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis IX standardized the denier tournois across the royal domain as part of a deliberate monetary policy designed to displace baronial coinages — particularly those of the great lords who had long issued competing currencies. The Tours mint, which gave the coin its name, had been brought under Capetian control in 1204, and Louis exploited it aggressively. By the time of his death on crusade in 1270, the tournois had become the dominant silver denomination in northern France, a position it would hold for generations.
