Interesting fact
The Denier Tournois was a coin that was widely used in France during the 16th century, and the Henri III (Toulouse) 1595 variety is particularly notable because it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side of the coin, which was added to distinguish it from other coins of the same denomination. This small cross has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin and has made it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
