Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Pistole - Charlotte of the Marck 1590-1591 from Principality of Sedan (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The Principality of Sedan was a small state located in the northeastern part of the country, and it was constantly threatened by the powerful neighboring states of France and Spain. Despite these challenges, the Principality managed to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, including the Gold Pistole, which was a significant achievement for a small state at that time.
