Écu d'or à la couronne - Charles VII 2e type

正面描述	Central field bears the crowned arms of France — a shield semé of fleurs-de-lis — surmounted by an ornate royal crown with foliate finials. The shield is accosted on the left by a small coronet and on the right by a fleur-de-lis, both within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend in Gothic lettering reads KAROLVS DEI GRACIA FRANCORVM REX, separated by cross stops, running between the inner and outer borders of the coin.

附加信息	Charles VII introduced this second-type écu in 1435, the same year the Treaty of Arras ended the Burgundian alliance with England — a diplomatic breakthrough that fundamentally shifted the balance of the Hundred Years' War in France's favor. The crown's finances had been erratic for decades, and maintaining a stable gold coinage was as much a political act as an economic one. The shift from the first type involved adjustments to the crown's rendering above the shield, a detail that allowed contemporaries — and allows collectors now — to distinguish issues across Charles's long reign. Duplessy's classification separates these precisely by crown type.
