Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Écu - Louis XVI (FRANÇOIS) 1792-1793 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in France. The French Revolution began in 1789, just a few years before the coin was minted, and it led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new government. Despite this upheaval, the coin still features the image of King Louis XVI, who was the monarch at the time. This coin is a tangible reminder of the tumultuous period in French history and serves as a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
