Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Ecu - Henry IV (Foliated cross) coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great religious turmoil in the country. Henry IV, who ruled from 1589 to 1610, was the first French monarch to convert to Catholicism, and his reign saw the end of the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants. Despite this, the coin still features a foliated cross, which was a symbol of the Catholic Church, indicating the religious tensions that still existed during this time period.
