Beschrijving keerzijde Central design features a composite heraldic shield displaying the Gallic rooster standing upon a quartered escutcheon charged with fleurs-de-lis, surmounted by a royal crown rendered in fine detail. Two additional heraldic shields appear in the field to the left and right, each bearing fleurs-de-lis and striped elements evoking the arms of France. Radiating lines behind the central composition suggest sunburst imagery. A laurel branch frames the lower portion of the design. The surrounding circular legend reads • 2000 ANS D'HISTOIRE • MONÉTAIRE FRANÇAISE •.

Aanvullende informatie

The phrase attributed to this coin's title was almost certainly never spoken by Louis XIV — historians have traced it to an 1836 publication, nearly 150 years after the Sun King's reign. The actual Louis d'or of 1653 was issued as France emerged from the Fronde, the series of civil wars that had driven the young king and his mother into temporary exile from Paris. That political rupture shaped Louis's subsequent centralization of royal authority far more than any aphorism.

This piece is a modern restrike in gold-plated silver, not a period issue.
