Description: This is a 1/5h Silver Ecu, which is larger than a U.S. Quarter. It was struck in the Orleans Mint and remains in Lustrous Choice Almost XF condition! The small lines are not scratches but die striations which were a natural part of minting coins long ago. THE LAST KING OF FRANCE Louis XVI was born in Versailles to the vast riches and absolute power of the French monarchy which lasted 1000 years, and married the glam girl of the 18th Century, Marie Antoinette. Alas, the times were a-changin' and, in spite of his supporting the American Revolution, his own subjects rose up against him, stormed the Bastille, arrested him, tried him - as Citizen Louis Capet - and summarily sent him to the guillotine. End of the Royals. Until now that is. Louis XVI has risen again in all of his glory on this BEAUTIFUL 1786 Silver 1/5th Ecu coin, looking every bit the man in charge in his curly locks, pony tail and fine couture accented by the Imperial Cross. Seize the day and the reigns of power - while you can! A superb exemplar of this rare historic silver treasure!
