| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles IX was thirteen years old when this coin was struck, two years into a reign administered entirely by his mother Catherine de Medici. France in 1562 was already fracturing along confessional lines — the Massacre of Vassy occurred in March of that year, igniting the first of eight Wars of Religion that would consume the kingdom for the next four decades. Coins of this reign circulated through a country increasingly unable to agree on anything, including who legitimately held authority to issue them.
