ECU D'OR A LA COURONNE, 3rd type, 1st emission. c. 1436. Possibly a rare mint, I have only ever found one other for ORLEANS mint sold, and none listed in any archives. (G)
The recent, and comprehensive, publication; Catalogue des Monnaies Royales Francaises, by Jean-Yves KIND, does not even list it.
Described by Monnaies d'Antan as being "plutôt rare"
