Comments

L'Ecu fût une monnaie fictive dont le cours représenta une moyenne de la valeur des monnaies européennes.
Quelques organismes privés ont tiré partie de cette non-existence officielle de la monnaie européenne pour proposer des ECUS "officiels" aux collectionneurs.
Ecu frappé dans les ateliers de l’Administration des Monnaies et Médailles avec poinçon de garantie. Distribué par les éditions Jean-Marc Laleta, Tresor du patrimoine.
Le Bronze Vénitien a été tiré en qualité Fleurs de Coins (45.000ex.) et en Qualité Courante (250.000ex.).
Existe en Platine (essai, 85ex.), Or 22 carats (1450ex.), Argent 1er titre (5900ex.).
