RARE French Silver Sun King Coin - Louis XIV 4 Sol

Description: History of the Artifact This gorgeous Louis XIV silver coin takes us back to the heyday of European Absolutist Monarchies and to the century of Bach, Newton and Vivaldi among many others, who shaped this unique period of European history. Louis XIV, also known as ‘Louis the Great’ or the ‘King Sun’ reigned for over 72 years over the Kingdom of France from 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign of over 72 years and 110 days is the longest of any sovereign in history beating even the late Queen Elizabeth II who reigned for ‘only’ 70 years. His title as the ‘King Sun’ derived from his character as a flamboyant monarch who had a tremendous influence on culture, etiquette and European civilization at the time. Louis XIV had a rather strong idea about what he had to represent politically : his most famous quote is arguably “L’Etat, c’est moi” (I am the State). He was an absolutist monarch, but he also possessed an inner belief that, as a regent, his mission was to enlighten his people’s mind. During his lifetime, he aimed to become a cultural example of ‘raffinement’ and, as the Sun, he provided “Light” in ideas and manners for 72 long years on the throne ! That said, he was not necessarily the best leader from a geopolitical point of view. He fought multiple expensive wars against his neighbors to inconclusive ends and failed to preserve French territories in North America. Upon his death in 1715, Louis XIV left his great-grandson and successor, Louis XV, a powerful kingdom, albeit in major debt after the thirteen-year-long War of the Spanish Succession.Although an imperfect leader, his legacy as an extravagant, absolutist monarch lives on to this day including in the Palace of Versailles - the ostentatious French Baroque palace built during his reign visited by millions every year.
