Interesting fact
The 1 Patagon coin from the Principality of Château-Regnault is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the Wars of Religion. The Principality was a small state located in the south of France, and the coin was likely used as a means of exchange among the local population. Despite the turmoil, the coin's design features a beautiful image of Louise Marguerite, the princess of the Principality, and is made of silver, indicating the region's wealth and prosperity.
