Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gröschlein - Louis 1578 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 1578, just a few years after the end of the Wars of Religion, a series of conflicts that had ravaged France for over three decades. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of King Louis XIII, who ruled during a time of relative peace and stability. This coin is a testament to the resilience and endurance of the French people during a period of great upheaval.
