| Reverse description | Three fleurs-de-lis arranged in a triangular pattern occupy the central field, serving as the royal arms of France and the primary design motif of the Double Tournois series. The fleurs-de-lis are boldly struck and clearly defined against the flat copper field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading DOVBLE TOVRNOIS, with the date 1586 and mint marks — a pinecone and a bird flying right — interspersed within the legend, identifying this piece as struck at the La Rochelle mint. The overall composition is characteristic of Valois-era copper coinage, with the irregular flan edges typical of hammered production. |
