Fighting in the War of the Spanish Succession had significantly weakened the French finances and Louis XIV ordered four consecutive monetary reforms between 1690 and 1705. The new types of Louis d'Or were directly struck over previous types without going through the melting process; with an official weight of 6.751g and a value of 14 Livres Tournois these specimens were clearly identifiable with the undertypes and the trefoil at the end of the reverse legend (Decree of 22 September 1701).
