Interesting fact
The Double Tournois coin was minted during the reign of King Henri IV of France, who ruled from 1589 to 1610. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of France on the other. The coin was used widely throughout France and its territories, and its design was inspired by the earlier Tournois coin, which was introduced during the reign of King Louis XI in the 15th century. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
