    8 L ecu
    Or 1/3 ecu
    Depending on the size
    Looks suspect to my novice eyes.

    it looks like an Ecu: KM#472.1 (C37.1)
    The acorn mint mark on the reverse denotes La Rochelle, as does the "H" between DOM and BENEDICT.
    If I've identified it correctly it's .917 silver, .6955 oz ASW.
    Denticles look a little odd-surface looks a little mushy but who knows, I'm no expert.
