Interesting fact
The Double Tournois coin featuring Louis XIII, minted in 1636 at the Stenay mint in France, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a French king. This was a departure from the traditional practice of featuring an image of the king on horseback, and it marked a shift towards more realistic and humanizing depictions of royalty on coins.
