Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Teston - Charles IX 1562-1568 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great religious turmoil in the country. The coin was issued by King Charles IX, who was a Catholic monarch, but the French people were increasingly sympathetic to the Protestant Reformation. This led to a series of religious wars in France, which lasted for several decades and had a significant impact on the country's political and social landscape. Despite this turmoil, the Teston coin remained a popular form of currency and was widely used throughout France during this time.
