| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Louis XV facing right, with long flowing wig, engraved by Norbert Roettiers in a youthful portrait style. A laureate wreath crowns the king's head. The circular Latin legend surrounding the effigy reads LUD . XV D . G . FR . ET . NAV . REX, identifying the king as ruler of France and Navarre by divine grace. The portrait is set within a toothed inner border, with the field showing the fine milled finish characteristic of early 18th-century French coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1725 coinage of Louis XV falls within the monetary reforms pushed through by the Contrôleur-Général Charles Gaspard Dodun, who restructured French silver denominations between 1720 and 1726 partly to stabilize confidence after the catastrophic collapse of John Law's Mississippi Scheme had gutted public trust in paper currency. Small silver fractions like this sixteenth écu were essential to that recovery — low-denomination hard money circulating where assignats and paper had recently failed.
The Paris mint's output for this type in 1725 was not exceptional, and attribution to specific mint marks within the Dy 1674 type remains the primary avenue for collectors building a complete date-and-mint run.
