Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Tournois - Gaston d'Orléans (6th type) 1644 from Principality of Dombes (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Principality of Dombes, which was a tiny state located in the western part of France. This coin was minted during the reign of Louis XIV, who was the King of France at the time, and it was used as a means of currency for the local population. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
