Interesting fact
The Double Tournois coin featuring Louis XIII, minted in Lyon between 1630 and 1635, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a French king, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of saints or symbols on French coins. This change in design was a sign of the growing power and influence of the French monarchy during that time.
