Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Teston - Charles IX 1562-1567 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 Wars of Religion had begun in 1562, leading to a series of conflicts between Catholics and Protestants that would last for over three decades. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used throughout France during this time.
