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 its obverse side. This double portrait was a rare design element in coins of that time period, and it signifies the importance of the couple's rule and their commitment to their territory.
