An écu aux 8 L of the Orléans mint, struck while Louis XV of France was a minor. Droulers[1] notes the type as rather scarce as most were melted in the great reform of 1726. A number were recovered from the wreck of Le Chameau but most were corroded. This type is the lowest weight écu struck during the reign of Louis XV. This specimen was lot 20877 in Heritage sale 3004.
