| Aanvullende informatie |
The écu d'or underwent a formal redefinition by royal edict in 1640, when Louis XIII and his finance ministers — with Richelieu's administration driving fiscal policy — standardized French gold coinage in a bid to stabilize exchange rates destabilized by decades of Spanish silver flooding European markets. This issue, struck across 1641–42, belongs to that reformed type rather than the older pistole-aligned standard it replaced.
Dreux Budé's Dy royales reference 1291 distinguishes this emission from visually similar preceding types by subtle edict-date markers. Most survivors show honest circulation wear — these coins moved actively in trade.
