We discuss, in a non-Archimedean setting, the distribution of the coefficients of L-polynomials of curves of genus g over
$\mathbb{F}_q$. Among other results, this allows us to prove that the 
$\mathbb{Q}$-vector space spanned by such characteristic polynomials has dimension g + 1. We also state a conjecture about the Archimedean distribution of the number of rational points of curves over finite fields.
