Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Florin d'Or - Francis and Louise Marguerite ND (1605) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the Wars of Religion. The Principality of Château-Regnault, where the coin was minted, was a small territory in the south of France that was ruled by a Protestant prince, Francis of Andelot. The coin's minting was likely a way for the prince to demonstrate his wealth and power during a time of religious and political upheaval.
