Interesting fact
The Double Tournois coin was minted during the reign of King Henri III of France, who ruled from 1574 to 1589. The coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in trade, but it was also considered a symbol of the king's power and authority. In fact, the coin's design features an image of King Henri III himself, surrounded by the Latin inscription "Henricus III Dei Gratia Francorum Rex" (Henry III, by the grace of God, King of the Franks). This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and its historical significance makes it a fascinating piece of French history.
