Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Florin - Charles I 1608 from Principality of Arches-Charleville (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued in 1608, just a year before the assassination of King Henry IV, which led to a period of political instability and conflict in the country.
