Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Crown - Philip IV 1632 from County of Burgundy (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1632, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War had ended, and at a time when the French monarchy was facing financial difficulties. Despite these challenges, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.917) and weighs 3.4 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the issuing authority.
