| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1630, the denier tournois had been a functional low-denomination workhorse for so long that its design changes tracked administrative decisions more than aesthetic ones. Louis XIII's fifth type at Paris reflects one of several sequential die modifications made as the crown attempted to stabilize copper coinage against persistent hoarding and counterfeiting of small change — a problem that had plagued French municipal markets since at least the League wars of the previous generation.
The Paris mint's output of this type was never intended for anything beyond local market transactions. Most pieces circulated hard and fast.
