| 背面描述 | A right-facing bust of King Louis XI of France (1423–1483), draped and wearing a characteristic round bonnet, is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. Overlapping in the lower left foreground are two gilt inset representations of the Écu d'or au soleil: the obverse showing the French royal arms with fleur-de-lis within a legend, and the reverse displaying a floriated cross with a legend. The engraver's monogram 'WV' appears in the lower right field. The inscriptions 'LOUIS XI' and '1423–1483' are placed in the upper left and upper right of the field respectively. |

The écu d'or au soleil was introduced by Louis XI of France in 1475, the "soleil" referring to a small sun placed above the royal arms — a device added specifically to distinguish the new issue from earlier écus. The Netherlands Antilles struck a long-running series of silver 10 Gulden pieces commemorating historic coinage from nations that shaped Caribbean trade, and this 2001 issue falls within that program.
Louis XI used aggressive monetary policy as a tool of political consolidation, and the écu au soleil became one of the most widely circulated gold coins in 15th-century European commerce, eventually spreading into Mediterranean and Atlantic trade networks that would, within decades, reach the Caribbean itself.
