Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Tournois coin from the Principality of Dombes is that it was minted during the reign of Peter II of Bourbon, who was only 11 years old when he inherited the throne from his father, Louis II. Despite his young age, Peter II was known for his intelligence and diplomatic skills, which helped him navigate the complex political landscape of 15th-century Europe.
