Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Frédéric-Maurice (8th type) 1632 coin from the Principality of Sedan (French States) is that it features an unusual design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Principality of Sedan, which is surrounded by two larger shields bearing the coat of arms of France. This design was used to signify the close relationship between the two states.
