Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Patagon coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the County of Burgundy, which was part of the French States. The coin was minted during the reign of Philip IV, who ruled from 1622 to 1639, a period marked by religious conflicts, political tensions, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the Patagon coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region, a testament to its durability and value.
