The Louis d’or was introduced in 1640 by King Louis XIII as part of a major monetary reform to standardize French gold coinage. These coins quickly became an important part of European commerce during the 17th century. The “Short Curl” variety refers to the distinctive shorter hairstyle on the king’s portrait.
