Mint: Provins
O: +TEBALT COMES
R: CASTRI PRVVINS
Theobald was Count of Champagne, Brie, Blois, and Chartres. He was brother to Stephen of Blois, who became king of England. The reverse is a famous play on words, a "field" (champ) and a "comb" (peigne) creates the word "Champagne". These coins were very popular during the medieval Champagne fairs.

Tours (1223-1226) Louis VIIIDenier tournois of Louis VIII, king of France (1223-1226) (or Louis IX, king of France 1226-1270)
Mint: Tours
O: +LVDOVICUS REX.
R: +TVRONVS CIVI
Louis VIII had a short reign as king of France, largely preoccupied with the Albigensian crusade. Louis also was a pretender to the throne of England, prior to becoming king of France. He took control of much of southern England during the First Barons War and only the death of King John prevented Louis from being crowned.
The denier tournois was a popular medieval French royal coin. The coins in the name of Louis (LVDOVICVS) could be Louis VIII or Louis IX. It is thought that the coins with the legend "TVRONVS CIVI" are from Louis VIII and "TVRONVS CIVIS" are from Louis IX.
