Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ecu - Louis of Berlaymont 1570-1573 from Bishopric of Cambrai (French States) made of Silver weighing 29.17 g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis of Berlaymont, who was the Bishop of Cambrai from 1570 to 1573, and it features an image of the bishop on one side and the French royal coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time of religious conflict, as the Catholic Church and the French monarchy were struggling for power and influence in France during this period. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the French States.
