Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Maximilien I (2nd type) coin from the Principality of Boisbelle-Henrichemont is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the principality, which is surrounded by a wreath of flowers. This design was only used on the second type of Double Tournois coins minted during Maximilien I's reign, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
