Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Double Tournois coin from the Duchy of Burgundy is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Philip III, who was the Duke of Burgundy from 1419 to 1467. During this time, the Duchy of Burgundy was a powerful and influential state in Western Europe, and the Double Tournois coin was an important part of its economy. The fact that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency for the people of the time.
