Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Stenay mint; 2nd type) 1635 from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis XIII, who was attempting to centralize power and reform the French economy. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and a shield with the French coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural values of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for widespread circulation and use among the general population.
