Celebrates a coin that have marked French History : the Ecu de 6 Livres
A coin that illustrates History
The Sower series presents the most historically significant coins of France’s history.
In 2018, the Ecu de 6 Livres is honoured. Famous coin created after the 1789 French Revolution, it is still collected today. The reverse of this 5€ Gold coin presents the revolutionary era with some of its major symbols : the storming of the Bastille in 1789, the National Guard and the revolutionaries with their phrygian cap or their characteristic hat. On the left side of the drawing, we can see a reproduction of the obverse and the reverse of the 1793 Ecu de 6 Livres. The obverse depicts Roty’s Sower in a more contemporary setting.

THE ENGRAVER
Trained at the best schools, they have the years of experience behind them necessary to master all aspects of the craft. Using industrial oil-based modelling clay and working from a design executed freehand or with CAD software, they skilfully fashion a low relief model in order to enhance the engraving and the way it catches the light. They work alternately with concave and convex plaster moulds until satisfied they have achieved the best 3D rendering of the design.
THE MINTER
The first minters began to ply their trade in France when striking with a hammer appeared in the 4th century BC. Nowdays, minsters use press instead of a hammer. Their knowledge of dies, engraving and metals, and their expertise - passed seamlessly down from one generation to the next for centuries - guarantees the excellence of their work.
