| Additional information |
This piece belongs to the Monnaie de Paris "Coin of History" series, which reproduces the designs of historically significant French coinage on modern struck blanks. The Louis XIV reference here draws from the Sun King's monetary reforms of the 1640s, when Superintendent of Finances Nicolas Fouquet and later Colbert aggressively standardized French coinage to project royal authority across a fractious kingdom still recovering from the Fronde.
The .333 fineness is deliberately chosen to match the debased silver content of the historical issues being referenced, not modern minting convention.
