I do not really collect french coins but I have accumulated a few. This is a recent pick just so I could have a Louis XIV coin.


Sun-King-4-Sols-2-Deniers,-1691

I also like overstruck coins. Minted in Aix-en-Provence (&) over a 4 sols aux traitants minted in Lyon (D) 176?.
After 1691 Louis was busy debasing his own currency. Here he got 2 deniers (1/6 sol) from each overstruck coin of his older issue. His wars were expensive. This is contemporary of the nine years war fought to contain french expansion.

These coins had a large issue but I do not think I will find a better looking one. It looks very nice for a small coin. Too bad that the exact year of the original can not be discerned. The overstrike was too good there.

Domine Salvum Fac Regem, it says, "God save the King". Maybe the King should have learned to save money.
