1790-BB Ecu of Louis XVI Nice!  Quote:
Louis XVI ecu aux branches d'olivier - 1785 R -Orleans - Faux d'epoque. Interesting. One more from me. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, nephew of Napoleon I, was President of the (2nd) French Republic 1848-52. When his four year term was nearing its end and the constitution did not permit a second term, he simply put the constitution aside and proclaimed the (2nd) French Empire, with himself as emperor Napoleon III. At the time this coin was minted, he was still President Bonaparte though. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, France 1852, 20 francs, Paris (A).

A jeton of Louis XIV. 1676-1679.  On the other end of the spectrum. 5 Francs of Louis-Phillippe I. 1835. MdP  A decidedly non-French Louis - Ludwig II of Germany. In this case, an 1866-dated Madonna Thaler from Bavaria. Despite being called a Thaler, at 33mm it is more the size of an original Madonna 1/2 Thaler from 100 years prior.

One of my most favorite medals is this unique Beaux-Arts prize medal awarded to the sculptor and artist Charles Bullet(t) in 1842 featuring Louis-Philippe I. A few other prize medals in bronze and silver awarded to M. Bullet are known to exist in museums or in private ownership. Paris, France. 1842. AE, 42mm. Paris mint mark (MdP) Edge: lettered BRONZE Engraver: Armand Auguste Caque The obverse features the right-facing bust of Louis-Philippe I, King of France, laureate; the engraver's signature (Caque f.) below. The reverse features a closed wreath of laurel, a bow at the bottom, with a French inscription on 5 lines: Ecole Royale des beaux-Arts De Dijon 2eme Prix de Dessin C.

Wow @paralyse, what a suite of Louis/Ludwigs!  I wondered where the German Ludwigs were hiding, now I know ...  Edited by erafjel

Thanks, you two! I've probably got a couple others around I can find.
