Interesting fact
The 2 Deniers coin was a widely used denomination during Louis XIV's reign, and it features an image of the king on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of France. What's interesting is that the coin was minted in Strasbourg, which was a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire at the time, and it still bears the French king's image and inscription, indicating the complex political landscape of Europe during that period.
