Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Teston in the name of Charles IX (11th type) 1575 from France made of Silver (.898) weighing 9.598 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in France. The coin was minted in 1575, just a few years after the end of the French Wars of Religion, which had devastated the country and led to the establishment of a new monarchy under Henry IV. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the artistic and cultural traditions of the period.
