| Reverse description | Three fleurs-de-lis arranged in a triangular pattern occupy the central field, representing the royal arms of France and serving as the primary device of the reverse. The fleurs-de-lis are rendered in the characteristic style of late 16th-century French small copper coinage, with bold, stylized petals in low hammered relief. A circular legend surrounds the central motif, giving the denomination DOVBLE TOVRNOIS along with the date of issue. The date varies by die variety, with documented years including 1584, 1586, and 1587. Punctuation and letter forms differ across die varieties, with at least one variety featuring a retrograde E in the legend. |
