Bust of Louis XIV right, wearing a cuirass decorated with a Gorgon's head., Crowned and round coat of arms, divided into 1 of France, 2 of modern Burgundy, 3 of ancient Burgundy, 4 of Navarre, surrounded by two palms., A magnificent example of the rare issues of Louis XIV struck for the Flanders region, highly sought after by collectors, with a superb cabinet patina. These coins are reformations of circulating ecus and divisional coins, but this example has been very well reformed, so it is not possible to determine which type of 1/2 ecu has been reformed., LVD• XIIII• D• G• (Sun) FR• ET• NAV• REX, SIT• NOMEN• DOMINI• - BENEDICTVM• 1693
