Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Rouen mint; 2nd type) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced in 1637, just a few years after the start of the Thirty Years' War, which had a significant impact on the French economy. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation until 1640, indicating that it was an important part of the currency system during this time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by ordinary people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy.
