Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Gröschlein - Louis 1579 coin from County of Montbéliard (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued in 1579, just a few years after the end of the Wars of Religion, which had devastated much of the country.
