| Obverse description | Central cross pattée within an inner beaded circle, flanked by the royal title legend in a second beaded circle. A third outer beaded circle encloses a devotional inscription rendered in Gothic uncial lettering. The legends read continuously around the coin, with decorative stops separating abbreviated words. The overall design reflects the refined Capetian royal monetary style of the late 13th century. |

| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Châtelet of Tours — a stylized castle motif — surmounted by a fleur-de-lis that intersects the inner legend at twelve o'clock, all contained within a beaded circle. The surrounding field features twelve fleurs-de-lis individually set within lobed ovals (oves), arranged in a ring between two beaded circles. The reverse legend names the city of Tours in abbreviated Latin, affirming the coin's tournois monetary tradition. The design is characteristic of the gros tournois type first introduced under Louis IX and continued through the Capetian dynasty. |
