Comment
"From a monetary point of view, this period was marked first and foremost by the appearance of Tournois denarii with + TVRONVS CIVIS. A study of monetary treasures shows that these denarii were first minted between 1240 and 1250 and not from 1266 onwards". M. J. Duplessy, Les Monnaies françaises royales, tome I, 1988.
