| Additional information |
The original Louis d'or was introduced by Louis XIII in 1640, replacing the écu as France's primary gold coinage — the name simply meant "gold coin of Louis," and every subsequent Louis kept it in circulation through Louis XVI, whose execution in 1793 effectively ended the series. Nearly a century and a half of French monetary history collapsed with it.
Monnaie de Paris has revisited this lineage several times in its modern commemorative program. The 2024 issue belongs to that tradition of institutional self-reference, the mint acknowledging its own unbroken operational history dating to 864 AD.
