Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis II (2nd type) 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 the first type of Double Tournois coin, and its inclusion on the second type distinguishes it from other coins of the same denomination.
