| Aanvullende informatie |
The Louis d'Or was reintroduced in 1724 following John Law's catastrophic Mississippi Company collapse, which had so thoroughly destroyed public confidence in paper currency that the Regency government felt compelled to reassert hard money as the foundation of French royal finance. This particular variety — distinguished by the long palm fronds flanking the central device — was struck only during 1724 and 1725 before the dies were revised, making the production window exceptionally narrow.
Multiple mints struck this type simultaneously under royal order, accounting for the KM variety designations.
