    Louis D'Or Brass Coasters/Medallions "Lud XVI dg fr et nav rex" & "1788 Sit Nomen Domini 7 Benedict"  - historical memorabilia of France. Made in Spain.  Heavy brass.
    Three (3) of the coasters depict the Louis d'or French coin which was first introduced by Louis XIII in 1640. The name derives from the depiction of the portrait of King Louis on one side of the coin.
    The other two (2) coasters showcase the backside of the 18th Century French coin écu au buste habillé which was struck at the Paris mint between the years 1775-92.
    These can be used as coasters or simply as decorative medallions or paperweights. They appear brass-like based on the patina/appearance of the metal and the weight.
    Condition: No erosion to the metal finish. No discoloration. Each has a red felt backing which shows substantial wear.  4" width. Vintage.  Unknown year of make.
