Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Henry (6th 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 detail sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, and highlights the coin's connection to the Principality of Sedan.
