écun.

/ˈeɪk(j)uː/

Etymology: French: originally ‘shield’ < Latin scutum; according to Littré so called because it bore on one face 3 fleurs-de-lis, like a heraldic shield.

A French silver coin; commonly regarded as equivalent to the English ‘crown’. Used in 19th-century France as a name for the five-franc piece.The relation of the écu to the livre, and its actual value, varied greatly at different periods. There was also a gold écu, similarly variable in nominal and actual value.
