1/2 Ecu - Anna Mary Louise 1st type: DNS ADIVTOR

Anna Maria Louise d'Orléans — the Grande Mademoiselle, Louis XIV's first cousin — ruled Dombes as sovereign princess from 1650 until she ceded the principality to the duc du Maine in 1681. That cession, widely understood as a bid to legitimize her late-life attachment to the comte de Lauzun, effectively ended independent coinage from the territory. These half-écus, struck across a four-year window, belong to a reign defined more by Versailles court intrigue than by governance of a small enclave north of Lyon.

The "1st type" designation distinguishes the DNS ADIVTOR legend arrangement from her later issues — a subtle die modification, not a recoinage event.
