Comment
From 1536 Francis the Ist took possession of Savoy and two-thirds of Piedmont. The mint of Turin, reopened in 1538 , struck in the name of the King of France and first under the mint mark T. An order from 1540 attributed to Turin letter mint "V" because the letter mint "T" was already used by the mint of Nantes. Turin did use that mint mark again after July 1541Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Douzain - François the Ist (1st type) ND (1541) coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. François I, who ruled from 1515 to 1547, was instrumental in establishing the French Renaissance and introducing new artistic and cultural influences to the country. This coin, which features an image of the king on one side and the French coat of arms on the other, reflects the cultural and political shifts that were taking place during this time period.
