<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 703694, member: 112&quot;]There is, it&#039;s called history. You see, the only reason that coin was ever even minted was to use it to pay the ransom. Every mint in France and its provinces minted those coins with the sole purpose of using them to pay the ransom. It took them 4 years just to get together the first downpayment of 600,000 pieces, of the total 3 million pieces to be paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin itself is known as the Franc A Cheval - which means Free Our King. These coins were the first French francs ever minted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
