Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Ecu coin with 8 Ls - Louis XIV (1st type) 1691-1693 from France is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in France. Louis XIV, who ruled from 1643 to 1715, implemented a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the French economy and centralizing power in the monarchy. The introduction of this coin, which was worth one-quarter of an ecu, a standard unit of currency at the time, was part of these reforms. The coin's design, which features a portrait of Louis XIV and the royal coat of arms, reflects the king's efforts to promote a strong and stable image of the French monarchy.
