Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Bordeaux mint; 7th type) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1626, and its production was discontinued in 1628, which suggests that it may have been a response to the financial challenges faced by the French government during that period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, may indicate that the government was trying to reduce the cost of producing coinage.
