Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Sol of Strasbourg - Louis XIV 1682-1688 coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis XIV, who was known as the "Sun King" and ruled France from 1643 to 1715. During his reign, France experienced a period of economic growth and cultural prosperity, and the Sol of Strasbourg coin was a symbol of this prosperity. The coin's design features an image of the Sun King himself, surrounded by the Latin inscription "Ludovicus XIV Dei Gratia" (Louis XIV, by the grace of God). This coin was widely used throughout France and its territories, and its design was influential in shaping the style of future French coins.
