| Reverse description | Central field displays the Chatel tournois, the stylized representation of the tower of the castle of Tours, rendered in the characteristic Capetian denier tournois manner with a central tower flanked by turrets, all above a decorative base composed of small pellets and radiating lines. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads + TVRONVS CIVIS, meaning 'City of Tours', referencing the mint city and the coin's tournois type. The entire composition reflects the long-standing iconographic tradition of the denier tournois introduced at Tours and adopted by the royal mint. |
