Comment
These 5 Sols coins were minted for trade with Middle-East.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1663-1668 Anna Mary Louise (2nd type) silver 1/12 Ecu coin from the Principality of Dombes (French States) is that it features an unusual design element - a small image of a bird, known as a "fleur de coin," on the reverse side of the coin. This design element was added to the coin to help prevent counterfeiting and was a unique feature of coins minted during Anna Mary Louise's reign.
