Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Bordeaux mint; 1st type) 1610 from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis XIII, who was attempting to centralize power and reform the French economy. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of France on the other, reflects the political and cultural shifts that were taking place during this time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for widespread circulation and use among the general population, rather than being a high-value collector's item.
