Script: Latin
Lettering: TVRONVS'CIVIS
Issued en masse by the kings of France in the economically and monetarily troubled period of the early 14th century, copied by forgers and imitated by all foreign princes, gros tournois often cannot be attributed to any particular mint. A study of the style of the coins reveals many of them to be badly engraved, sloppy or marred by errors; we think that they are imitations, although we cannot be certain that the official workshops did not also have sloppy or negligent engravers. The comparison of weights is an indication, alas also subject to caution; forgers did not necessarily cheat on weight, and some very good pieces may have been trimmed.
The large tournaments with the legend PHILIPPVS (with two P's) are divided into two main groups: those with TVRONVS, where the O is oval and high, and those with a round O. The first are all attributed to Philip. The former are all attributed to Philippe IV le Bel (1285-1314), those with the round O to Philippe IV, Philippe V (1316-1322) and Philippe VI de Valois (1328 to 1350). Here, too, we are tempted to attribute a number of examples to workshops other than those of the kings of France.
