Nice to see a coin from Cilician Armenia.  Another old denomination but not as old as 'Takvorin':   2 Tournois ND (1605-1614) Principality of Chateau-Renaud (in France) |

I've always thought that the "tournois" series come under D for Denier/Double (it helps that you occasionally see a variation in the second word - for example, Sedan coins say Double de Sedan).

One can argue both ways. You have brought the argument for the 'D'. The argument for 'T' is that the Tournois (without Denier) was used in monetary accounting (as representing 20 Sous), as opposed to the (Parisian) Denier which was equal to 25 Sous. The origin comes from the Livre (pound weight) of Tours which was 4/5 that of the Parisian Livre.

The Tours variant survived giving us the gros tournois, and the double (2 deniers) and denier tournois. So very similar to the term Pound Sterling or the Reichspfennig. The Double did become a value in its own right in Guernsey, where French small change circulated for most of its history, giving us the 8 Doubles pennies let's not waste a post: - 1 Tambala from Malawi  Edited by davidrj
