Interesting fact
The Gold Ecu coin from the Kingdom of Navarre, issued during the reign of John III and Catherine I (1483-1512), features a unique design element - a small shield with the royal coat of arms on the reverse side, which was a departure from the traditional design of coins during that time period.
