Comment
Quintefeuille 1640 version :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 turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1639, and its production was discontinued in 1640 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.
