Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Villeneuve mint; 8th type) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1626, and its production was discontinued the following year, due to the financial difficulties faced by the French government. Despite its short production run, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
