Orange was a tiny Protestant enclave surrounded by French royal territory, and its rulers — the House of Nassau — exploited their nominal sovereignty aggressively by issuing coinage that deliberately mimicked French royal types. The Double Tournois was a French royal denomination, and Frederic Henry's decision to strike his own versions created a practical nuisance for Paris: these coins circulated freely in southern France, indistinguishable in commerce from legitimate royal issues. French authorities complained repeatedly.
Louis XIV finally resolved the problem in 1672 by occupying the principality militarily. Coinage from Orange ceased entirely.
