| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three fleurs-de-lis arranged in a triangular pattern within a plain inner circle, the central device representing the royal arms of France and serving as the traditional reverse type of the Double Tournois series. The denomination legend DOVBLE TOVRNOIS flanks the date, repeated twice around the outer periphery with the mint date interposed, as was standard for this issue. A beaded inner border separates the central design from the surrounding legend. The Bordeaux mint mark K would appear in the field or legend in accordance with the conventions of the French royal mint system. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Double Tournois had been a workhorse of French small change since the medieval period, but by the reign of Louis XIII the type had become a political instrument as much as a monetary one. The proliferation of distinct regional types — Bordeaux alone produced multiple successive varieties across his reign — reflects the Crown's ongoing effort to assert minting authority over provincial workshops that had long operated with considerable autonomy. The 15th type for Bordeaux represents one of the final iterations before the series was substantially reorganized under Mazarin's administration.
Copper coinage of this period circulated brutally and survivors in decent condition are scarcer than mintage figures alone suggest.
