Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Francis (8th type) ND (1605-1614) coin from Principality of Château-Regnault (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of King Francis II, who ruled from 1559 to 1560, and it was a time of religious tensions and conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used denomination in the French States and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
