Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it was minted during the reign of Mary, who was the Princess of Dombes from 1620 to 1629. This coin was a standard circulation coin made of copper and weighed 2.5 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
