Its history
Écus were struck from 1795 to 1889, the date on which the Latin Monetary Union, which brought together several countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Greece …), came into being.
These coins are sought after for their good silver content of 90%.
There is therefore a multitude of different effigies.
The value of this coin is identical to that of the 10 Francs Hercule.
