FRENCH GUIANA: AR 1½ euro, 2004, KM-—, pattern essai, warship Le Soleil Royal 1670-92, Brilliant Uncirculated.
You are bidding on a 2004 dated silver 1½ euro pattern coin struck for the departement de la Guyane, a French overseas possession located in South America. The obverse features the Guyanan coat of arms. The theme is the history of the French Navy and this coin portrays the Louis XIV's flagship the Soleil Royal. The Soleil Royal (1670) Flagship of the French Fleet with 104 guns, was launched - some say in 1690, others in the 70's - to join the relentless battles going on the Mediterranean. In 1692, under the command of A.H. de Cotentin, Count of Tourville and Marshal of France, she left the port of Brest on 12th May with a squadron of 45 ships. On 29th May she found herself some 20 miles from the Cape of Barfleur in the North East, facing a fleet of 97 British and Dutch vessels. After a merciless fight lasting 12 hours, the British and Dutch were forced to flee after suffering substantial losses. The Soleil Royal and two other vessels were careened for repairs on the beach at Cherbourg. A defenseless target, she was burned during the British and Dutch attack on 2nd and 3rd June 1692. One year later, the Count of Tourville, again at sea, won a brilliant victory at Cape St-Vincent on 27th June 1693, capturing 59 British ships.
The coin is 38mm in diameter and contains one troy ounce of pure silver. Mintage is limited to 2,000 pieces and it is struck in FDC quality. View details and enlarged photos

In 1889 he was awarded a Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in Paris and was created Officer of the Legion of Honor the same year. In 1905 he received a medal of honour at the Salon.

GUADELOUPE: AR 1½ euro, 2004, KM-XE12, pattern essai, Battleship Gloire 1860-79, Brilliant Uncirculated.
You are bidding on a 2004 dated silver 1½ euro pattern coin struck for the departement de la Guadelouope, a French overseas possession located in the Caribbean sea. The obverse features the Martinique coat of arms. The theme is the history of the French Navy and this coin portrays the first ironclad warship, the Gloire which entered service in 1860 and served until 1879.
La Gloire (Battleship, 1860-1879) Broadside ironclad ship (3m). L/B/D: 255.6 × 55.9 × 27.10 (77.9m × 17m × 8.5m). Tons: 5,630 disp. Hull: ironclad wood. Comp.: 550. Arm.: 36 × 6.4. Armor: 4.7 belt. Mach.: 2-cycle trunk, 2,500 ihp, 1 screw; 12.5 kts. Des.: Stanislas Dupuy de Lôme. Built: Arsenal de Toulon; 1860.
One of the first tests of the effectiveness of ironclad ships in battle conditions occurred during the Crimean War. Impressed especially by their performance against Russian defenses at Fort Kinburn at the mouth of the Dnieper River, the French Navy embarked on a program of building ironclad warships. In this, it was strongly supported by Napoleon III. Appointed naval constructor in 1857, Stanislas Dupuy de Lôme completed plans for six ironclads in 1858. La Gloire, the first of these, was essentially a modification of his design for the world's first steam screw warship, Napoleon of 1850. Because of their relatively weak industrial base, the French were unable to build an iron-hulled ship. The compromise reached in Gloire was for a wooden hull clad with 4.7-inch iron plate and heavily reinforced with iron fastenings. With a single iron deck, Gloire was a single-screw three-masted ship mounting thirty-six 6.4-inch muzzle-loading rifled guns. Designed to operate as a battleship in a traditional battle line, Gloire had two sister ships, Invincible and Normandie. These were joined by the iron-hulled Couronne and the ten ships of the Flandre-class (one of which, Heroïne, had an iron hull), as well as the two-decker ironclads Magenta and Solferino, mounting 50 guns on two decks. Laid down in May 1858 and commissioned in July 1860, Gloire served in the French fleet for nine years before undergoing a thorough overhaul and refit, emerging with six 9.6-inch and two 7.8-inch muzzle-loading rifled guns. In 1879, she was struck from the navy list and broken up four years later. Far from helping the French achieve naval superiority over the British, Gloire prompted the conservative British to undertake the development of their own iron ships. No sooner was Gloire laid down than the Admiralty promptly ordered two ironclad and four iron ships of their own. The immediate result was HMS Warrior, an all-iron-hull warship that entirely dwarfed Gloire and ushered in a new generation of fighting ship.
The coin is 38mm in diameter and contains one troy ounce of pure silver. Mintage is limited to 2,000 pieces and it is struck in FDC quality. View details and enlarged photos
