Comment
As for his whole coinage, this coin is struck under the name of Charles II who did not consider his predecessor as having held the title before dying at the age 8.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Ecu - Charles III ND (1504-1553) from Duchy of Savoy 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 III, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1504 until his death in 1553. During this period, the Duchy of Savoy was a powerful state in western Europe, and the Gold Ecu was a widely used currency throughout the region. The coin's design features an image of Charles III on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Savoy on the other, symbolizing the power and influence of the Savoyard dynasty. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
