I found this one in the middle of a lote of coins that I bought for about 5 bucks.LUCKY.
It´s a silver ECU from Louis XV 1728 house of Lille.
I think it´s correct but if anybody has anything to say please comment.

5 buck or 5 euros, it's a wonderful historical piece! The forerunner to the Republic 5Fr coin!

I just read this on Wiki...


Quote:
The ecu, as it existed immediately before the French Revolution, is approximately equivalent (in terms of purchasing power) to 20 euros or 25 dollars in 2006.


Nice!
