the same specimen
File:France 1598StP quart ecu rev 600.jpg
from the Mountain Groan Collection
This specimen was struck by the hammer at St-Palais in Béarn during the reign of Henry IV, founder of the Bourbon dynasty (1589-1793). This was the largest silver coin regularly struck in France prior to the introduction of milled coinage in the 1640's. It had a face value of fifteen sols tournois. The SCWC lists an expensive quarter écu for St-Palais (KM 31) but these are probably the scarce machine-struck specimens; as the SCWC offers no picture, one cannot be definite.
Recorded mintage: unknown but somewhat available.
Specification: 9.71 g, .917 fine silver.
Catalog reference: Sb 4710 (9 ex.), KM 1.1?, Dupl-1238.
