<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 8345247, member: 89314&quot;]Beautiful coin from a state best known for producing below standard imitations of&nbsp; coins of other states. Château-Renault only struck coins from 1610 to 1629 at the latest. On March 10 1629 the ruler Louise-Marguerite of Lorraine, widow of your François de Bourbon, sold the territory to the King of France.&nbsp; However, the little statelet&#039;s history goes back to its being created by King François I as a buffer state during his wars with Emperor Charles V. Henri de Lorraine, ruler by marriage to Catherine de Clèves , affirmed his right to strike coins in a decree of 1575 but never exercised the right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
