| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne facing right, with a long beard and flat collar, in the manner of contemporaneous French royal coinage. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat provincial style consistent with the Sedan mint's output of this period. The encircling legend commences at six o'clock and is bounded by a smooth inner circle. The portrait closely follows the iconographic convention established for Henri IV of France, reflecting the principality's cultural alignment with the French crown. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sedan's minting of Double Tournois in the name of Henri IV was a calculated assertion of the principality's autonomy. The tiny sovereign enclave on the Meuse, controlled by the de la Marck and later the Bouillon family, maintained independent coinage rights that French royal authority repeatedly tried to suppress throughout the seventeenth century. Striking pieces that mimicked the royal type — while technically issued under separate sovereignty — was a deliberate provocation as much as a practical monetary decision.
