A modern-day version of the Louis XIV 15-sol coin issued in 1670 for exclusive use in the French colonies in North America. The design features the Royal arms of France (a shield with three fleurs-de-lis) ensigned by the royal crown, and the Latin legend "GLORIAM REGNI TVI DICENT" ("They shall speak of the glory of Thy Kingdom"). For historical accuracy, the reverse includes the original "A" (Paris Mint) mint mark beneath the shield and, in the 12 o'clock position, a rook (castle) mark representing Chief Engraver Jean-Baptiste Dufour, who engraved the original reverse
