| Beschrijving keerzijde | Châtel tournois (tournois castle) depicted in the central field, shown as a stylized fortified tower with a turreted crown above, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding border features ten fleurs-de-lis arranged at regular intervals between arched frames, forming a decorative outer ring characteristic of royal Capetian coinage. The legend FRANChORVM (or FRANCORVM / FRANCORVMR depending on the variant) runs in the outer legend band. The composition closely follows the established iconographic conventions of the gros tournois and its fractions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles IV inherited a monetary system already strained by his father Philip IV's notorious currency manipulations — debasements and revaluations so aggressive they had contributed to the political crisis that destroyed the Templars. The Maille Blanche issued under Charles represented a brief period of relative monetary stability, though his reign saw continued pressure on silver coinage as the crown struggled to fund administration without the Templar wealth that had propped up earlier Capetian finances.
Charles IV died in 1328 without a male heir, ending the direct Capetian line after over three centuries. Coins of his reign carry an inadvertent historical weight as the last issues of a dynasty.
