FRANCE, Royal. Louis XIII le Juste (the Just). 1610–1643. Gilt Æ Medal (59mm, 64.74 g, 12h). The Church of Saint Louis. By an uncertain medallist. Dated 1627 (in Roman numerals).

The Church of Saint Louis (Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis) was commissioned for the Jesuits by Louis XIII in 1627. Located in the Rue Saint Antoine, this was the first church in Paris to adopt the new baroque style. The building as seen today, however, differs from what is presented on this medal, as various changes were made to the design before its final completion in 1641.
