notes: label: Description
content: The Louis d’or, or gold Louis, is a coin produced under each French king from 1640 to 1824. In the colonies of English America, non-English coins like the Louis d’or circulated freely, their value determined by the weight and type of metal they contained. The weight of the Louis d’or fluctuated regularly, so even while they were in regular use, one might not be worth the same as another.
