Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ecu - Charles I 1614 from Principality of Arches-Charleville (French States) made of Silver weighing 17.56 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued in 1614, just a few years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which would go on to devastate much of Europe and have a profound impact on the French monarchy. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that showcase the skill of the mint's craftsmen.
