Comment
These 5 Sols coins were minted for trade with Middle-East.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1664 Anna Mary Louise (3rd type) 1/12 Ecu coin from the Principality of Dombes (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Principality of Dombes, which is not present on other coins of the same denomination and era. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the main image of Anna Mary Louise. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the same period and region, and it is a notable aspect of its design that collectors and numismatists find particularly interesting.
