Interesting fact

The Gros Henri II 1550 coin was minted during the reign of King Henry II of France, who ruled from 1547 to 1559. The coin's design features the king's profile on one side and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during that time period. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and copper. Despite its relatively small weight of 5.80 grams, the coin was an important part of the French currency system during the 16th century.
