Interesting fact
The Double Tournois coin was minted during the reign of King Henri IV, who was the first French monarch to issue a standardized coinage system across all of France. This coin was one of the first coins to feature the king's image, which was a departure from the previous coinage system that featured the coat of arms of the French kingdoms. This change in design was a significant step towards the modernization of France's currency and paved the way for the development of future coinage systems.
