Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis II (1st type) 1576 coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Dombes family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier coins issued by Louis II, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
