Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Ecu - Henry II ND (1608-1624) 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 Henry II, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1608 until his death in 1624. During this time, the Duchy of Lorraine was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the Gold Ecu remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its value was backed by the wealth and power of the Duchy of Lorraine.
