Comment
It's up to debate if the coin reads 1617 or 161Z.Interesting fact
The 1 Ecu coin from the Principality of Château-Regnault, featuring Louise Marguerite, is a rare and valuable coin. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite the conflict, the coin's design and craftsmanship are remarkable, showcasing the skill of the mint's engravers and the attention to detail of the time.
