France 1716W ecu rev DSLR.jpg

An écu vertugadin of the Lille mint, struck while Louis XV was a minor. Droulers[1] notes the 1716-W as common as "flan reformé" (struck over an earlier type) while "flans neufs" are accorded a 20% premium. The specimen shown is a "flan reformé." The type was struck in France 1715-18 in substantial numbers but was replaced by the écu de France-Navarre, which is only 24.47 grams.

Recorded mintage: 439,404 "flans neufs" (new blanks) plus an unknown quantity of "flans reformés."

Specification: 30.59 g, 0.917 fine silver, .902 troy oz ASW, 41 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM, designed by Norbert Roëttiers.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 813, Dr/2 № 553, Dav-1326, KM 414.21.
