Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Bordeaux mint; 2nd type) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced in 1610, just a few years after the death of Henry IV, who had brought stability and prosperity to the country after decades of religious wars. However, his successor, Louis XIII, was still a child at the time, and the country was ruled by his regent, Marie de Medici. This period saw a significant increase in coin production, as well as changes in the design and metallurgy of French coins, reflecting the evolving economic and political landscape of the time.
