The agnel, also known as the mouton d'or (lamb of gold) and the agnel d'or, was an ancient French gold coin first struck in the reign of Louis IX and not minted after 1574, and valued at 12 sols 6 deniers. It was so named because it always bore the figure of an Agnus dei (lamb of God) on one side. Found on http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/browse/JA.HTM
