Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Tours mint; 4th type) 1637 from France is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "AA" inside, which stands for "Auxerre" and "Amiens," two cities in France where the coin was minted. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the king's crown. This feature was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's mintage location and to differentiate it from other coins minted in different cities.
