Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Tournois - Gaston d'Orléans (9th 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 continued to be produced, and this particular coin is a testament to the resilience of the French people during that time.
