Comment
Imitation of the Double Denier of John II (see link below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois coin from the Bishopric of Verdun is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin, which is not typically found on other coins from the same era.
