Comment
Imitation of the 2nd type of the Double Sol Parisis of Henry III (link below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Sol Parisis - Louis II 1581-1582 coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis II, who was the Prince of Dombes and a prominent figure in the French Wars of Religion. The coin's unique design and the use of billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of copper and silver, reflect the economic and political tensions of the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
