If you collect silver crowns or ecus of France you need this rare and informative reference book, which sells for between $80 and $175 on the second-hand book market (usually in lesser condition than this copy). Cost is much less here. THE SILVER CROWNS OF FRANCE 1641 - 1973. "A catalogue of the regularly-issued crown-sized silver coins of France struck under national authority after the coinage reform of 1641, including the ecus from 1641 to 1794 and the comparable decimal issues from 1795 to 1973."
