A 1/4 ecu of Charles II Cardinal of Lorraine (1578- 1607)and Bishop of Metz. This being a 1/4 ecu issued for the city of Metz. There is no date on the coin, but from the portrait, circa 1600. This coin is at the very least `difficult' to find, and the only one i've come across to date. Charels II was contemporaneous with Charles III Duke of Lorraine. Easily confused.
