This coin is an écu aux branches d'olivier from the Lille mint. Many Lille mint issues are rare but this one is fairly common. The SCWC reports 1726-31, 1733-40 from this mint; Droulers adds 1732. The type was struck 1726-40 during the reign of Louis XV of France. This coin was part of the great coinage reform of Cardinal Fleury which finally terminated the manipulations which had disrupted the economy since the 1690's.
Recorded mintage: 76,682.
