Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both classical and medieval elements in its design. The bust of Louis XIII is depicted in a classical style, with a laurel wreath and a drapery that is reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman coins. However, the cuirassed bust and the 2ème poinçon de Warin (a small ornament in the shape of a fleur-de-lis) are more typical of medieval coins. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time, and adds to the coin's historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
