Hello,

This coin is a royal frensh coin, it's sure.
It's difficult to said name of this king Charles.
I have looked in "Duplessy book" and I think that it's king Charles VII.
Denier tournois, first issue 1436.
D = 21 mm, weight = 1,019 g
A/ : + KAROLVS:FRANCOR:REX, 2 lilies in a quatrefoil
R/ : + TVRONVS:CIVIS, cross in a quatrefoil.
There are many coins like this coin but with form of "N" in TVRONVS, I think it's a coin of Charles VII.
