Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Louis XIII (Villeneuve mint; 9th type) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic turmoil in France. The coin was introduced in 1637, and its production was discontinued in 1638, due to the economic crisis caused by the Thirty Years' War. Despite its short production period, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
