France 1752S 1-20 ecu rev DSLR.jpg

Shown is a 1752-S vingtième d'écu au bandeau of the Reims mint (mintmark "S"). This date is listed in Droulers[1] as fairly common. The type is common altho most individual dates are rare. Droulers lists mintmarks A, H, S for 1752 while Gadoury mentions A, S, V. The twentieth écu was the ancien régime version of a half dime tho never struck in sufficient numbers to really convert France to a decimal currency.

Recorded mintage: 43,907[1].

Specification: 1.47 g, 0.917 fine silver, reeded edge, designed by J.-C. Röettiers.

Catalog reference: KM 510.13, Gad-284 (R3), Dr/4 № 857, Dr/2 № 588.
