| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful draped bust of Louis XV facing right, his hair arranged in long flowing curls tied at the back in the fashion of the period. The effigy occupies the central field, with the mint mark letter N and the date 1715 positioned in the lower field below the truncation. The surrounding Latin legend reads LVD. XV. D. G. FR. ET. NAV. REX, separated by pellets, identifying the king as Louis XV by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre. The coin's inner border is defined by a raised beaded circle, with a fine toothed outer rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis XV was five years old when this coin was struck. The 1715 date places it at the precise hinge between two reigns — Louis XIV died on September 1st of that year, and the mint had already been producing coins in the name of the new child king before the old one was in the ground. The "sun" designation distinguishes this type from later Louis d'or varieties, referencing the solar iconography inherited from the Sun King's own monetary program.
The regency of Philippe d'Orléans began immediately upon Louis XIV's death, and fiscal policy shifted almost as fast — John Law's disastrous paper currency experiment was already on the horizon.
