<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8172792, member: 110350&quot;]A great coin! All I have of this sort is this one of Louis XVI:</p><p><br /></p><p>France, AR Ecu de 6 livres françois, Paris 1792 (L&#039;An 4), Mintmark A. Obv. Bare head Left, LOUIS XVI ROI DES FRANCOIS/ Rev. Winged Genius of France standing right, inscribing Constitution on tablet set on column; in left field, fasces topped by liberty cap; in right field, rooster standing left; REGNE DE LA LOI. In exergue, in two lines: L&#039;AN 4 DE LA LIBERTE. KM 615.1, Davenport 1335, Gadoury 55. 39 mm., 29.4 g. <i>Purchased March 5, 1986 from Harmer, Rooke Numismatists, Ltd., New York.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/combined-france-louis-xvi-ecu-de-6-livres-1792-jpg.1244087/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a small handful of Louis XIV historical/commemorative medals with dates on them back into the 17th century. But the problem with old Louis XIV medals (and with French medals in general) is that the Paris Mint reissued them so many times, it&#039;s difficult -- at least for me -- to tell if they&#039;re originals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
