Comment
Reforms are recognizable by a ♣ (shamrock) at the beginning of the legend on the reverse. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Ecu coin with the insignia of Louis XIV from France (1701-1703) is that it was minted during a time when the French monarchy was at the height of its power and influence in Europe. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, ruled France for over 70 years and was known for his centralization of power, military conquests, and cultural achievements. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the French coat of arms on the other, reflects the grandeur and prestige of the French monarchy during this period.
