This specimen is an ''écu au bandeau'' of Louis XV struck in 1765 at the Pau mint.

''Après nous, le déluge''.—Louis XV (1710-1774).

According to legend, Louis is alleged to have quipped, “After us, the flood,” predicting the collapse of the regime after his death. He was more likely expressing despair at his many defeats at the hands of Frederick the Great.

The long reign of Louis XV (1715-74) saw many coin types come and go. The first part of the reign, while Louis was a child, was a period of monetary confusion and manipulation. The reforms of Cardinal Fleury (1726) stabilized the fiscal situation until the total collapse at the eve of the Revolution. Numismatically, this period can be divided into three epochs, marked by the ''écu aux branches d’olivier'' (1726-40), the ''écu au bandeau'' (1740-72) and the ''écu à la vielle tête'' (1770-74). This specimen belong to the middle period.

'''''The écu au bandeau.'''''

The iconic coin of the period is the ''écu'', struck in large numbers at twenty-nine mints. Clairand[2] estimates 195 million were struck 1726-74, a number which must rival the production of pesos in Spanish American mints. Its divisions were the ½, 1/5, 1/10 and 1/20 écu, struck in modest quantities. The écu was worth $1.10 in the USA before the Civil War.

The ''écu au bandeau'' is the most popular coin of the ancien regime among collectors. Alhéritière and Deswelle[1] reported 575 dates for this type in 2004; three more have been published since. An additional 215 dates may exist; records show they were minted but no one has found one. Four dates are known which the archives state should not exist. Of these only two dozen or so are classed as common (20 or more examples known), while 481 dates are known from five or fewer examples. The 1763-Pau is listed[2] about 60% higher than the most common date (1765-Pau) but it is more common than most other mints for 1763.

'''A cow as a mintmark?'''

As a remnant of its former position as the capital of the kingdom of Navarre, the Pau mint was permitted to use a slightly different obverse legend than the other mints. Hence its product is catalogued today as a separate subtype. Its ''écus'' and ''louis d’or'' are common, other denominations very rare.

''Specifications for the Écu au bandeau''.
* Obverse: LUD.XV.D.G.FR ET NAV. REX. (for Pau, NA.RE. BD), king’s head left, hair tied with a ribbon;
* reverse: SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTUM (date), oval shield of France, crowned, between two olive branches tied with ribbon, mintmark below; edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM.
* composition: silver, 11 ''deniers'' (.917 fine), 8.3 pieces to the mark (29.488 g), face value 6 ''livres'', 39 mm diameter. Engraved by Joseph-Charles Roettiers.
