Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Henry (5th type) 1614 coin from the Principality of Sedan (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Principality of Sedan, which was a small independent state located in the northeastern part of France. This shield is placed below the main image of King Henry IV on the obverse side of the coin. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the French States during this time period and adds to its historical significance.
