[QUOTE="seth77, post: 2983807, member: 56653"]The denier tournois started as a local coinage before Philip II Augustus turned it into a royal coinage around 1205. From there it spread to the Greek territories acquired by the Frankish knights after the Fourth Crusade, where it was the local dominant coin from around the 1270s to the 1330s. From there it spread in the Angevin territories after the 1280s. With the fracture of the Frankish rule in Greece, the denomination became less and less relevant as it became irregular and debased, although it was still minted and used thoroughout the Aegean Archipelago in the 14th and 15th centuries. By the end of the 14th century the Anjou-Durazzo overlordship started minting denarii tornesi in Italy and during the Barons Revolt of 1459-1463/4 the tornesi of Molise were the main coinage used by the local barons supporting the Angevin side. This is a very brief history of the denomination.[/QUOTE]
