This specimen was lot 2354 in Sincona sale 87 (Zurich, October 2023), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANKREICH Königreich und Republik, Louis XIV. 1643-1715. Louis d'or aux quatre L 1697 P, Dijon. Zeitgenössische Fälschung überprägt auf: Italien, Savoyen. Vittorio Amadeus II. unter Vormundschaft seiner Mutter, 1675-1680. Doppio 1678, Torino. Gadoury vgl. 252. MIR 835 d (R6). Von grosser Seltenheit und numismatischer Bedeutung, Fast vorzüglich'' (kingdom of [[France]], Louis XIV, 1643-1715, gold louis of the four "L's" of 1697, Dijon mint, contemporary counterfeit struck over a Savoy doppia of 1678. Of high rarity and numismatic importance. About extremely fine."</blockquote> This counterfeit would normally be of little interest except that it was made from a very rare gold doppia of Savoy, which was so close in weight to the genuine ''louis d'or'' that it can have yielded little profit to the maker.

''Recorded mintage:'' 7,932, all rf.
