Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ecu coin from the Principality of Château-Regnault is that it features a unique double portrait of Francis and Louise Marguerite, the ruling couple of the principality, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that time and adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance.
