Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Lyon mint; 6th type) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1627, and its production continued until 1631, during the reign of King Louis XIII. The coin's mintage was a response to the economic difficulties faced by the French people, who were struggling with inflation and a shortage of small denomination coins. The Double Tournois was intended to address these issues, but its production was ultimately discontinued due to the changing economic conditions and the introduction of new coinage systems. Despite its short-lived production, the Double Tournois - Louis XIII coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
