Interesting fact
The Double Denier coin from County of Burgundy (French States) was minted during the reign of Philip II (1589-1590) and features an interesting design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Burgundy on the reverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's origin and to differentiate it from other coins minted in other regions.
