Interesting fact

The 1716 Louis XV 1/20 Ecu "Vertugadin" coin from France features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Bearn, which is a region in southwestern France. This coin was minted during the reign of Louis XV, who was the king of France from 1715 to 1774. The coin's design was created by the French engraver, Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Roettiers, who was known for his work on various French coins during that time period.
