This specimen was lot 30875 in Heritage sale 3073 (Chicago, April 2019), where it sold for $4,320. The catalog description[1] noted, "Aquitaine. Edward III (1325-1377) gold Leopard d'Or ND AU55 NGC, Bordeaux mint, Elias-39a, W&F-44 6/b. 28mm. 3.59gm. +ЄDVVARDVS: DЄI: GRA: ANGLIЄ: FRANCIЄ: RЄX, crowned leopard passant right within tressure, mullet in spandrel between two and four o'clock, voided quatrefoils in remaining spandrels / +XPC: VInCIT: XPC: RЄGHAT: XPC: IMPЄRAT, cross fleury with ornate central rosette within angled quatrilobe, leopards passant in angles, quatrefoils in spandrels. Lombardic A's in legends. Third Issue (from July 1357). A spectacular and iconic emission of the Anglo-Gallic period, rather emblematic of the profusion of issues in both silver and gold struck during Edward III's long reign. Lacking in significant weakness, with a somewhat rotund engraving to the legends, and a still quite expressive face on the leopard. Toned to a charming sun-gold, some minor wrinkling visible in the flan, though hardly any evidence of significant waviness. Very rare and a true treat for hammered French, British, and gold collectors alike!"
