First real find!

Silver
Date-- 1729
?ecu of Louis XV

Can't remember how it lay in the ground but while the head is worn and the
only real text is
L----------G-------NAV REX the reverse is much more clear {why?}-- nothing
like as worn
with SIT NOMEN DOMINE BENEDICTUM B 1729 [CROWN, FLEURS DE LYS]

lady whose garden it was in was happy for me to take it away...
but can anyone point me to
A a reliable description that I can copy for her
B a reliable price guide/indicator so that any value can be split
50:50

Merci
