| Reverse description | Central châtel tournois (the stylized tower or castle of Tours) depicted within a circular inner legend reading + TVRONV.S. CIVIS., the whole surrounded by a decorative border of twelve fleurs-de-lis, closely imitating the standard royal gros tournois type issued by the French crown. The châtel is rendered with its characteristic battlemented tower and flanking turrets above a horizontal bar. The design and legend directly reference the monetary conventions established at Tours, demonstrating the feudal issuer's adoption of royal coinage typology. |
