Interesting fact
The Denier Tournois - Louis XIII (Amiens) 1614-1616 coin from France made of Copper weighing 1.5g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in France. Louis XIII, who ruled from 1610 to 1643, was only 13 years old when this coin was minted, and it was a time of great political and social upheaval in the country. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the young king, signifying the power and authority of the monarchy even during this tumultuous period.
