Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Charles I (7th 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 is not typically found on other coins of the same denomination and era. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned shield with the French royal coat of arms. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the same period and adds to its numismatic value.
