This specimen was lot 74447 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2024), where it sold for $100. The catalog description[1] noted, "[[France|FRANCE]]. Ecu, 1771-L. Bayonne Mint. Louis XV. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, VF Details. Displaying good details, this example is presentable with deep toning, despite the noted tooling." The écu au bandeau is the most popular coin of the ancien regime among collectors. Alhéritière and Deswelle[3] reported 575 dates for this type in 2004; three more have been published since. An additional 215 dates may exist; records show they were minted but no one has found one. Four dates are known which the archives state should not exist. Of these only two dozen or so are classed as common (20 or more examples known), while 481 dates are known from five or fewer examples. Droulers[2] lists the 1771-L as fairly common. The Bayonne mint, a major porudcer of silver, struck both this type and the [[France 1771-L ecu|''écu à la vieille tête'']] in 1771.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 29.49 g, 0.917 fine silver, 39-41 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM.

''Catalog reference:'' Dupl., 1680; Gad-322, [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-1331]], Dr/4 № 820, Dr/2 № 584, KM-512.12.
