Wood doubloon, featuring our 2027 "Joan's Crowning Achievement " doubloon image on one side and our usual doubloon obverse (krewe logo) on the other. This year's doubloon design gives a nod to the city of Reims, France, where nearly all the French kings of history have been crowned at Reims cathedral and anointed with the divine oil in the Holy Ampulla of France, a bottle dating from Clovis I, the first Christian king of France, anointed in 500 A.D. Joan called Charles "dauphin," meaning "prince" because he had not yet been officially crowned, because Reims was occupied by the English. Joan took back all the cities from Orléans to Reims so that Charles VII could be crowned. This image is also on coasters, and this story is featured in our new battalion "Road to Reims," and in a new throw "Holy Ampulla of France." Our wood doubloons are locally made and eco-friendly.
