In all probability, this Écu d'Or belongs to the extremely rare Duplessy reference 369G! This Écu is in an excellent state of preservation, largely untouched by the cliping that can sometimes be seen on other examples, as the legend is still intact, although not very readable, which can be attributed to a weak strike that printed it poorly. Minted in Angers, the mintmark is clearly visible on the 7th letter of the legend. It is hollow, which could cast doubt on the identification of this shield in reference Dy.
369D, where the Écu also have hollow mintmarks. However, the weight of the coin leaves no doubt: 3.66g is much too far from the weight stated for Dy.
369D shields (around 3.82g), and our coin here has clearly not lost enough metal to explain such a difference in weight, which allows us to state that this Écu is indeed one of the extremely rare (noted as "Not found") Dy.369G Écu.
