By 1723, eight years after the kings death, the so-called medallic history of Louis XIV (Histoire métallique du Roy) comprised nine hundred medals including variants. These two exquisite examples were created between the years 1715 to 1723 when Philippe II duc dOrléans ruled France as regent until the child-king, Louis XV (b. 1710; r. 1715-74), could assume the throne as an independent monarch.Louis XV is depicted at seven years of age in the Education of the King of 1717 2019.283.142) and at eight in the Progress of the King of 1718 (2019.283.141). Although his delicate, plump features are those of a small boy, his solemn expression and elaborate armor, convey the majesty of the monarchy.
