Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois - Maximilien I (3rd type) coin from the Principality of Boisbelle-Henrichemont is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis XIII, who was struggling to centralize power and stabilize the French economy. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the tensions between the monarchy and the Catholic Church, which was a powerful force in French society at the time. Despite these challenges, the Double Tournois coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout France and its territories.
