| Additional information |
The "short palms" variant distinguishes this issue from the concurrent long palms type by the truncated palm branches flanking the central cartouche — a die characteristic specific to the earliest years of Louis XV's personal coinage. Louis XV was only thirteen when these were struck; France was emerging from the Regency of Philippe d'Orléans, who had died in December 1723, and the mint was effectively restabilizing royal coinage under a new administrative order. The short palms designation in Droulers' classification separates genuine early production from later recuts.
