This specimen was lot 3636 in Sincona sale 39 (Zurich, May 2017), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE, Königreich, Constitution, 1791-1793 Ecu constitutionell 1793 AA. Metz. Fast vorzüglich.'' (kingdom of [[France]], Louis XVI, 1791-93, constitutional écu of 1793, Metz mint. About extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This specimen is a "constitutional écu" struck at the Metz mint, one of a type struck there 1792-93, prior to the trial and execution of the king. Its divisions were the ½, 1/4 and 1/8 écu, struck in billon. The écu was worth $1.10 in the USA before the Civil War. The 1792-A and 1793-A are the most available dates of this scarce type, the other mints are mostly rare.
