The Bourges shop has very few hit currencies in louis xiii, only at the end of this reign and derisory amount. Only 200 copies were struck in 1640, no-apparently in 1641, about 8,000 copies in 1642, and very little in 1643.

This reopening was soon controversial because thomas Mosnier was immediately charged and convicted of forgery, embezzlement and abuse, and to have produced coins of weight natured and too low during the years 1640 to 1643. However, with its support for the court, thomas Mosnier managed to get away after some detention time, and resume his dubious fabrications during the reign of the young louis xIV.
