Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Frédéric-Maurice (10th type) 1632 from Principality of Sedan (French States) coin is that it features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify that it was made of copper, a less valuable metal than other metals used in coinage at the time. This design element was used to prevent counterfeiting and to ensure that the coin's value was accurately represented.
