Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double sol de Béarn aux deux L couronnées 1739-1753 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis XV, who was known for his lavish spending and military campaigns, which put a strain on the French economy. As a result, the coin was made of Billon, a silver-copper alloy that was less expensive than pure silver, in order to reduce production costs. Despite this, the coin still features a beautiful design, including the two L's that give it its name, which stand for the Latin phrase "Ludovicus XV," or "Louis XV" in English.
