| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis XVI's double louis d'or was struck across eight mints simultaneously at its 1775 introduction, a logistical sprawl that produced meaningful die variation and inconsistent output quality across facilities. The Bordeaux, Limoges, and Pau mints were among the provincial contributors, each applying their own mint mark to an issue that was, in theory, uniform. In practice, finding matched pairs from the same mint is considerably harder than the overall survival rate suggests.
Production ceased not by design but by circumstance — the Revolutionary government's suppression of royal coinage in 1789 ended the series abruptly. Pieces dated in the final years of issue are considerably scarcer than those from the mid-1780s.
