Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Villeneuve; 3rd type) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1620, and its production was discontinued in 1622, due to the economic difficulties faced by the French government during the reign of Louis XIII. Despite its short production period, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
