| Additional information |
The Monnaie de Paris produced a long-running series of gold restrikes in the late 20th century reproducing classic French royal coin types, issued under official authorization but with no monetary circulation role. Provenancing these pieces requires attention to the edge markings and the small cornucopia or owl privy marks added by the mint to distinguish modern strikes from genuine 18th-century originals.
