from www.CGB.fr

The specimen shown is a demi-écu à la mèche courte struck in Paris during the minority of Louis XIV of France (r. 1643-1715). This is a "short lock" variety. The "long lock" variety, struck 1646-60 (see link below), is distinguished by the longer lock of hair growing in front of the young king's ear. Altho most of the "short lock" variety was struck 1643-45, about 4.6 million were minted in that time, so the type is not rare. The 1644-A with a dot after the dot was struck at the Louvre; those with a rose after the date (as shown here) were struck at Matignon, a nearby workshop in Paris. The second specimen was lot 1124 in CGB sale 31 (Paris, June 2007).

Recorded mintage: 310,150 (variety with rose after date; common).

Specification: 13.72 g, 0.917 fine silver, 32-35 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by Jean Warin or Isaac Briot.

Catalog reference: KM-163.1; Dr/4 № 526A, Dr/2 № 295.
