Double Tournois - Maximilien III 4th type

Boisbelle-Henrichemont was a peculiar enclave lordship in the Berry region of France, whose rulers maintained the right to strike coinage well into the seventeenth century despite the Crown's persistent efforts to consolidate French minting privileges. Maximilien III de Béthune inherited the principality and continued issuing copper in the double tournois format precisely when royal edicts were tightening control over feudal mints elsewhere. The 4th type designation reflects sequential die modifications across a short production window — the 1641–1642 span likely represents the final active years before the mint's effective suppression.
