Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Double Tournois coin from the Duchy of Brittany is that it was minted during the reign of Charles de Blois, who was the Duke of Brittany from 1341 to 1364. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his rule, and it features an image of Charles de Blois on one side and the coat of arms of Brittany on the other. The use of billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of metals, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable and cost-effective than using pure metals. Despite its small weight of 1.11 grams, the Double Tournois coin played an important role in the economy of Brittany during the 14th century.
