Louis d'or

The Louis d'or category includes French gold coins minted during the reign of the Kings of France, from Louis XIII to Louis XVI.

It is part of the broader collection of French Coins (470 to 2002), covering a historical period from the first Merovingian mintings to the introduction of the euro.

The Louis d'or is an emblematic piece of French numismatics, prized for its intrinsic gold value and historical interest.

This category includes the different varieties and vintages of the Louis d'or, allowing collectors to study the evolution of the motifs, royal effigies and mint marks.

Each Louis d'or coin offers an insight into the French economy and society of its time, testifying to successive reigns and political contexts.

The nomenclature of the Louis d'or is based on royal decrees and ordinances governing their minting, weight and gold content.
