France One Half Dor Gold 1786 Louis XV

This historical French gold coin, known as the *1/2 Louis d’Or*, was struck during the reign of King Louis XV (“Louis le Bien-Aimé”). Minted from .917 fine gold, the piece represents one of France’s iconic pre-Revolutionary gold denominations, valued at half a Louis d’Or.

The obverse displays a right-facing bust of King Louis XV with the Latin legend “LUD. XV. D. G. FR. ET NAV. REX,” translating to “Louis XV, by the Grace of God, King of France and Navarre.”
