    Loui XVI, as far as I know. Who is Ludwig? Sounds like someone I drank with. image

    No, he listed it by the correct German name.

    Excerpt from original German Wikipedia entry:

    << <i>Ludwig XVI. August von Frankreich (* 23. August 1754 in Versailles; † 21. Januar 1793 in Paris) >>



    Same sentence from Google's automatic translation

    << <i>Louis XVI. August from France (* 23 August 1754 in Versailles; † 21 January 1793 in Paris) >>

    Ahh! Who woulda thunk it.
  • Looks like a Louis XVI jeton to me. I can't match it with another example at first check, though.
