| Reverse description | The châtel tournois — a stylised representation of the tower of Tours — occupies the central field, depicted with a portcullis gate, two lateral turrets, and three small pellets at the base, all rendered in the characteristic medieval graphic convention. The central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding border features twelve fleurs-de-lis set alternately within Gothic quatrefoil lobed ovals, forming an elaborate decorative ring emblematic of the French royal house. The outer circular Latin legend reads '+ TVRONVS CIVIS', identifying the city of Tours. |
