The "vieille tête" — old head — portrait was introduced in 1771 after decades of complaints that the royal coinage bore a king who looked nothing like the aging Louis XV. The new effigy by Joseph-Charles Roëttiers was a belated concession to accuracy, commissioned when the king was already in his sixties. He would die in 1774, making the production window for this type exceptionally short and the total mintage across all marks correspondingly limited.
Roëttiers faced resistance from court factions who considered the unflattering portrait politically awkward.
