Reason: High quality, high EV, scarce (only coin example in the sol and livre article).
Original: The winged genius design by Augustin Dupré (14th Engraver General of Currency) was used on the French sol, livre, écu, and franc, spanning nearly a century. It appears to be inspired by both ancient Assyrian and Roman imagry.
