Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1713 Charles Alexander Doppia coin is that it was minted during a time of siege and war, specifically during the War of the Spanish Succession. The coin was minted in the city of Landau, which was under siege by French forces, and its production was likely a response to the need for currency during this time of conflict. Despite the challenges of minting coins during a siege, the 1713 Charles Alexander Doppia coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
