This is an écu vertugadin of the Paris mint, struck while Louis XV of France was a minor. Droulers[1] notes the 1718-A as common as "flan reformé" (struck over an earlier type) while "flans neufs" are accorded a 25% premium. The specimen shown is a "flan reformé." The type was struck 1715-18 in substantial numbers but was replaced by the écu de France-Navarre, which is only 24.47 grams.

Recorded mintage: 370,944 "flans neufs" (new blanks) plus 2,845,340 "flans reformés."

Specification: 30.59 g, .917 fine silver, .902 troy oz ASW, 41 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM, designed by Norbert Roëttiers.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 no. 813, Dr/2 no. 553, Dav-1326, KM 414.1.
