This specimen was lot 1291 in Sincona sale 38 (Zurich, May 2017), where it sold for 900 CHF (about US$1,079 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE, Königreich, Louis XIII. 1610-1643 Ecu dor 1641 X. Amiens. Vorzüglich.'' (kingdom of [[France]], Louis XIII, 1610-43, ''écu d'or'', Amiens mint, Extremely fine.)"</blockquote> Shown is a ''écu d'or à la croix torsadée'' struck at the Amiens mint in the last years before the switch to milled coinage in the 1640's. This type was struck at numerous French mints 1611-43, i.e., Louis' entire reign; it is listed for Amiens 1615-17, 1631-43. The Amiens mint product is distinct in having the mintmark on the obverse instead of placing it in the center of the cross on the reverse, as was usual. These coins were usually struck with the hammer and were supposed to be phased out with the introduction of milled coinage in 1640 but ''écus d'or'' are known dated as late as 1654.

''Recorded mintage:'' 25,060[2].

''Specification:'' 3.37 g, .958 fine gold, designed by Nicholas Briot, this specimen 3.37 g.

''Catalog reference:'' Duplessy 1282 B; Fr-398; Gadoury 55, Dr/4 no. 1 a.
