Interesting fact
The 1 Sol - Louis XV 1721-1728 coin from France was minted during a time when the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a modern state. The coin's design features the image of King Louis XV, who ruled France from 1715 to 1774, and was known for his efforts to centralize power and modernize the country's infrastructure. The coin's copper composition and relatively low denomination also reflect the economic and social changes that were taking place in France during this time period.
