This is a six-livre écu coin, struck in silver, during the reign of Louis XVI. This specific coin was issued in 1793.

The coin belongs to a particular series related to the period of the Constitution. It bears witness to a precise historical moment of the French Revolution, when the constitutional monarchy was in effect.

This coin was struck at the Bayonne mint, identified by the letter "L". The Bayonne mint was one of the many regional mints in France at that time.

The coin weighs 29.08 grams and has a diameter of 39 millimeters. These dimensions were standard for six-livre silver écus of this period.

The fineness of this coin is in silver, indicating that the coin is mainly composed of silver, although other metals may be present in small quantities to improve the coin's durability.

The coin is associated with Louis XVI, the King of France at the time of its minting. His effigy or other royal symbols may appear on the coin, reflecting monarchical authority, although in the context of the Constitution, this authority was limited.
