== History == During the Franco-Prussian War, the Battle of Monnaie took place on 20 December 1870. In this engagement, a Hanover division of the Imperial German Army, commanded by General Schwarzkoppen, defeated French forces led by General Ferry Pisani, subsequently leading to the German occupation of Tours.
