Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Tournois - Henri III (Paris; 1st type) 1577-1589 (1577-1593) coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced during the reign of King Henri III, who ruled from 1574 to 1589, and it was designed to replace the older denier coin that had been in circulation for over a century. The new coin was minted in copper, which was a more abundant and less expensive metal than the silver used in the older coin, and it featured a new design that included the king's name and title on one side and a cross on the other. Despite its introduction during a time of economic and political upheaval, the Denier Tournois - Henri III coin remained in circulation for over 20 years and is still highly sought after by collectors today.
