This 2014 France 200 Euro Gold Antique Finish coin features a bust of Louis XIV on the obverse and a sun on the reverse showing the face of a man with rays streaming out, celebrating Louis XIV as the Sun King.

It's part of the From Clovis to the Republic, 1500 Years of French History series from the Paris Mint. Each coin in the series is struck without a collar, giving it the appearance of a coin struck hundreds of years ago. The unique Antique finish adds to the mystique. 

Louis XIV (1638–1715), also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King, came to power on 14 May 1643. His 72-year reign was one of the longest in European history. He required obedience at all levels of society and created a centralized state, which allowed him to protect his kingdom. Louis XIV left behind him an influential France, as is attested to by the building of the Palace of Versailles. 

The obverse shows a portrait of Louis XIV wearing a long wig (in the 17th-century style) in Christian Lacroix’s characteristic style. The Sun, Louis XIV’s emblem, is accompanied on the reverse by the dates of his reign: 1643 – 1715.
