Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Paris mint; 3rd 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. Despite its relatively short production run, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
