This specimen is an cinquième d'écu au buste habillé struck at the Orleans mint, one of a type struck there in 1784, 1786 and 1787. Paris and Lille also struck this coin in 1784. It was demonetized in 1804, unlike the écu and demi-écu, which were demonetized in 1834. The shorter period of circulation means more high grade survivors exist despite the small mintages.
Recorded mintage: 30,206[1].
Specification: silver, 11 deniers (.917 fine), 41.5 pieces to the mark (5.83 g), face value 24 sols, 26-27 mm diameter. Engraved by Benjamin Duvivier.
Catalog reference: Dr/4 no. 886, Dr/2 no. 619, KM 569.12.
