This specimen was lot 1421 in Jean Elsen sale 155 (Brussels, June 2023), where it sold for €240 (about US$315 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE, BRETAGNE, Duché, Jean V (1399-1442), billon blanc, vers 1423-1436, Vannes. D/ Quatre mouchetures dans un polylobe. :V: en fin de légende. R/ Croix pattée. Très Beau à Superbe.'' ([[France]], duchy of Brittany, John V, 1399-1442, silver blanc of circa 1423-36, Vannes mint. Obverse: four ermines in a polylobe and a "V" at the end of the legend; reverse: cross pattée. Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)"</blockquote> . Wikipedia comments, <blockquote>"John V, (1389-1442) bynamed John the Wise, was Duke of Brittany and Count of Montfort from 1399 to his death. His rule coincided with the height of the Hundred Years' War between England and France. John's reversals in that conflict, as well as in other internal struggles in France, served to strengthen his duchy and to maintain its independence."</blockquote> Roberts lists this type for the Dinan mint (mintmark "D"), not the Vannes mint.
