France 1 ecu Louis XVI KM-564.7 Gad-356 MS 61 PCGS silver coin 1791 I

The 1791 France 1 Écu of King Louis XVI is a remarkable silver coin from the final years of the French monarchy before the dramatic events of the French Revolution. Certified PCGS MS61, this historic piece represents the traditional royal coinage struck during one of the most significant periods in European history. The obverse displays the left-facing laureate-free bust of Louis XVI, wearing a curled wig tied with a ribbon and an embroidered royal coat. Fine portrait details are surrounded by a beaded border, while the date appears below. The reverse features the crowned oval shield bearing three fleur-de-lis, enclosed by elegant olive and oak branches tied together with a ribbon, symbolizing strength and peace. The regal crown, heraldic emblem, decorative wreath, and denticled rim complete the classic Bourbon design. Louis XVI ruled France from 1774 until 1792, and his reign witnessed profound political and social upheaval that reshaped the nation and influenced world history. Struck in silver and preserved in PCGS MS61, this impressive 18th-century Écu is an outstanding acquisition for collectors of French royal coinage, Bourbon history, and pre-Revolutionary European numismatics.
