It is a demi-Ecu of Louis XV of La Rochelle, France of the 'huit Ls' reverse. It looks like it has salt water damage, possibly a La Chameau ship wreck piece that has been cleaned? The reverse designs changed often and this reverse design was used earlier as was the bust design making King Louis age from a small child to a grown man on French coins issued over time. The detail is excellent but the surfaces have issues. Still this is a neat piece of history.
