Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Riom mint; 1st type) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1624, and its production was discontinued in 1625 due to the financial crisis caused by the Thirty Years' War. Despite its short production run, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
