Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Tournois - Gaston d'Orléans (13th type) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the Fronde, which was a series of civil wars that lasted from 1648 to 1653. Despite the political instability, the coinage of the Principality of Dombes, where this coin was minted, remained relatively consistent, with the Denier Tournois being one of the most widely used coins during this period.
