Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Teston - Charles III 1587 from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1587, just a few years after the establishment of the French States, and it reflects the shift towards more standardized coinage that was occurring across the continent during this period. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region, as silver was a highly valued and widely used metal for currency at the time.
