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. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of King Louis XIII, who ruled during this time and was known for his efforts to stabilize and strengthen the French monarchy. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the French people during a time of great upheaval.
