Comment
Reforms are recognizable by a ♣ (shamrock) at the beginning of the legend on the reverse. Interesting fact
The Ecu coin with the insignia of Louis XIV, minted between 1701 and 1704 in France, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins that were issued during the king's reign to promote his image and power. The coin features a portrait of Louis XIV on one side and the French coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the king's authority and influence. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 27.45 grams adds to its value and historical significance.
