Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic turmoil in France. The country was experiencing high inflation and a shortage of coinage, which led to the minting of this coin with a lower weight and value than previous versions. Despite these challenges, the coin still features a beautiful design, including an image of King Louis XIII on one side and the French coat of arms on the other.
