Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VIII of France, who was known for his ambitious military campaigns and his attempt to conquer Italy. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as an image of a crowned shield with the French fleur-de-lis symbol. Despite its small size and relatively low silver content, the Double Tournois was an important coin in its time and is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
