Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1740-1769 French Silver 1/20 Ecu coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Louis XV, who was known for his extensive hunting trips and love of the outdoors. As a result, the coin features an image of the king on horseback, with a hunting horn and a pack of hounds at his side. This design was meant to symbolize the king's connection to nature and his role as a powerful and adventurous leader.
