This specimen was lot 20829 in Heritage sale 3004 (New York, January 2009), where it sold for $6,325. The catalog description[1] noted, "Louis XIIII Ecu 1689A, D-3809 var, G-213, 27.41g, AU55 NGC. Paris mint. Ecu Blanc-Large Bust (i.e. Bust of 1690-1693/Milled Edge). The bust closely resembles that of the Ecu aux 8L-Type I. Apparently minted in the last year of the type by the Paris mint. Definitely known from the Paris mint/1689 but at present unknown from any other mint. Full, bold even strike. Moderately toned. A very rare subtype of a very scarce type. Seldom available in this condition. Ex: Hess/Divo-Auction 293: Lot 74. From the Grundy Collection."
