France 1716A demi ecu rev DSLR.jpg

Shown is a half écu vertugadin struck in 1716 at the Paris mint while king Louis XV was a minor. Droulers[1] notes that all known examples are struck "flan reformés," i.e., over earlier types. The type was struck until 1718, when it was replaced by the demi-écu de France et Navarre. It is priced lower than its sister, the écu vertugadin, tho much scarcer.

Recorded mintage: unknown but common for the type.

Specification: 15.29 g, .917 fine silver, .451 troy oz ASW, 31-33 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM, designed by Norbert Roëttiers.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 no. 823, Dr/2 no. 554, KM 420.1, Dupl-1652A; Gad-308.
