Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Lyon mint; 4th type) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1617, and its production was discontinued in 1618, due to the financial crisis caused by the Thirty Years' War. Despite its short production period, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
