– SOLDThe 1380 France Gold Écu d'Or, issued under King Charles VI and graded PCGS MS62, is a significant medieval French coin from a turbulent period in the country's history. Charles VI, known as "Charles the Mad," ascended to the throne in 1380 at just 11 years old, leading to a period of political instability, regency rule, and ongoing conflicts with England during the Hundred Years’ War.
The Écu d'Or was a high-value gold coin widely used in trade and commerce, reflecting the economic strength of medieval France. Its design typically features the French king in armor, holding a sword and shield adorned with fleurs-de-lis, symbolizing the monarchy’s divine right and military power. The reverse often displays a cross with decorative elements, reinforcing the Christian influence on French coinage.
