Ex Brichford. The gros tournois and itsfraction, the denier tournois, became the standard royal French silver issue for almost 150 years. Beyond the borders of France they were copied extensively throughout Europe and the Crusader kingdoms. In France, as elsewhere, the various emissions were marked by différents, or tiny symbols placed somewhere in the legend or design of the coin. This marking system persisted in France nearly to the end of the kingdom, and careful examination ofthe symbols reveals the sequence of issues within a reign, although much research is still needed to accomplish this task.
