Comment
Duplessy notes that this voin could be in fact a Douzain.Interesting fact
The Quinzain - Anna Mary Louise 1657 coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The Principality of Dombes, where the coin was minted, was a small state located in the southeastern part of the country, and it was struggling to maintain its independence amidst the political and military conflicts of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Dombes.
