Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Charles I (12th type) 1634 coin from Principality of Arches-Charleville (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Principality of Arches-Charleville, which was a tiny state located in the north of France, near the border with Belgium. This shield is placed below the main image of King Charles I on the obverse side of the coin, and it adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to the coin.
