The specimen shown is an écu aux palmes ("écu with palms") struck in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV of France. This type was struck 1693-1701 in large quantities, mostly overstriking older écus ("flans reformés"--this specimen is a "flan neuf"). It was succeeded by the écu aux insignes. Droulers[1] prices this date about 30% more than the common date, but even a common date is priced 20% higher than an écu à la mèche longue.
Recorded mintage: 344,441 "flans neufs" plus an unknown number of "flans reformés."[1]
Specification: 27.45 g, 0.917 fine silver, 38-41 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVVM FAC REGEM.
