Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Demi Sou - Charles II 1700 coin from Luxembourg is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in European history. The coin was issued in 1700, during the reign of Charles II, who was the Duke of Luxembourg from 1684 until his death in 1700. This was a period of significant political and military upheaval in Europe, with the ongoing War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) and the subsequent War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) affecting many countries, including Luxembourg. Despite these challenges, the Demi Sou coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in Luxembourg and the surrounding regions.
