Interesting fact
The Double Tournois - Henri IV (Villeneuve) coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced as part of a broader effort to reform the French currency and stabilize the economy, which had been struggling with inflation and debasement of the currency. The coin's design, featuring King Henri IV on one side and the coat of arms of France on the other, was meant to symbolize the stability and authority of the French monarchy. Despite these efforts, the coin's production was ultimately discontinued due to the high cost of production and the lack of popularity among merchants and traders. Today, the Double Tournois - Henri IV (Villeneuve) coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the economic and political history of France.
