Incomplete copper alloy, laminated with silver, copy of the silver half ecu of Louis XV (1715-1774) and dated to 1741 on the reverse. The coin has been manufactured in the same way as Sheffield plate, where a layer of copper was soldered between two layers of silver and then rolled out as a sheet. This technique was perfected around 1770 in Sheffield, but in France they may have initially purchased sheets of Sheffield plate after this time and are certainly using it by the end of the 18th century. The sheet was probably then cut into squares and the coin would then have been struck, us…
