Struck before the Revolution under the personal reign of Louis XVI, this large-denomination silver coin bears the distinctive mark of Béarn and the Pau workshop (I). Regional coins of the Ancien Régime possess a unique charm and a minting often more limited than the Paris strikes. A superb testament to the craftsmanship of the mint-workers of the late eighteenth century, in fine condition.
