Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Pistole - Charles IV 1631 from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles IV, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1624 until his death in 1634. During this time, the Duchy of Lorraine was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the Double Pistole coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its gold content made it a valuable and sought-after coin among merchants and traders.
