Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henri III, who was the King of France from 1574 to 1589. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted by the French royal mint, but rather by the Abbey of Selz, which was a powerful monastery in the French States. This highlights the interesting history of decentralized currency production during that time period.
