Beschrijving voorzijde Central field bearing a plain cross pattee within a raised beaded inner circle. An intermediate legend band carries the royal inscription + PHILIPPVS REX, separated from an outer devotional legend by a second beaded border. The outer legend reads + BNDICTV: SIT: HOME: DHI: NRI: DEI: IHV: XPI, a Biblical benediction standard to the Gros Tournois type. The entire design is enclosed within a plain outer rim. The hammered fabric produces a characteristic irregular flan typical of late 13th-century French royal coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Philippe IV inherited a currency in reasonable health and spent the next three decades systematically debasing it to fund wars with England and Flanders. This early issue, struck before the worst of those manipulations, maintains the high-fineness standard established under Louis IX — the original architectural type having been introduced around 1266 specifically to provide France with a prestige silver coin competitive with the Italian grosso. By the mid-1290s, Philippe's financial pressures were already beginning to tell, making issues from this narrow window among the last struck to anything approaching the Tournois standard's original integrity.
