    Écu d’or au soleil du Dauphiné type 2.

    Old fake period in gold.

    Very well-crafted period fakes, often made in illegal workshops, intended to deceive the population. These coins circulated as real in the past. At the time, possessing and putting counterfeit money into circulation was punishable by death.
