This denomination, struck until 1651, is much scarcer than the accompanying quarter écu. The missing tops of the letters in the legends suggests that this example was clipped but the weight indicates otherwise.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' 4.85 g, 0.833 fine silver, 24-26 mm diameter, this specimen 4,63 g. <br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM 45, Dr/4 № 115 (unlisted date), Dupl. 1337; Gad. 25; L4L 25; Clairand 32131. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Cuhaj, George S., and Thomas Michael, ''Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1601-1700, 6th ed.,'' Iola, WI: Krause Publications, 2014.<br /> * Droulers, Frédéric, ''Répertoire General des Monnaies de Louis XIII à Louis XVI (1610-1792), 2nd édition.''
