The 1641 monetary reform ordered by Louis XIII — engineered largely by his finance ministers struggling to fund the Thirty Years' War — overhauled the écu coinage and introduced this short-lived first portrait type. It was superseded almost immediately by a second portrait in 1642, making the production window for this specific type exceptionally narrow. Some mint facilities had barely retooled before the dies were obsolete.
France operated numerous provincial mints in this period, and identifying the striking facility from the mint mark is often the more consequential attribution exercise with this type than assessing condition alone.
