FRANCE - LOUIS VIII (The Lion)/LOUIS IX (St. Louis)
|
Silver coin of Louis VIII (1223-1226) or Louis IX (1226-1270). Tournois Denier. Minted at Tours. Obverse: Cross, legend: LVDOVICVS REX. Reverses: Crude castle or cathedral, TVRONVS CIVI. Louis IX did not alter the coinage upon assuming the throne at the age of 12, so the coin may be from either king (althought Louis IX is more probable).
