One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the Wars of Religion. The County of Artois, where the coin was minted, was a region in the north of France that was heavily involved in the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich history and culture of the region.
