This detailed engraving by Bernard Picart, created in 1718, depicts two sides of a coin featuring Charles IX of France. On one side, the king is shown seated on a throne, while the other side showcases the French royal coat of arms within a wreath. The inscription "24-AVGVSTI 1572" marks the date of the coin's issuance. Picart's meticulous rendering of the coin's details highlights the artistry of the period and provides insight into the symbolism and design of historical coinage. This print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles IX and the craftsmanship of Bernard Picart.
