This specimen was lot 140 in Jean Elsen sale 146 (Brussels, November 2020), where it sold for €380 (about US$554 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AR demi-écu aux palmes, 1694AA, Metz. 2e réformation. D/ B. cuir. à d. R/ Ecu de France rond, couronné, entre deux palmes. Gradé PCGS AU55. Très Beau à Superbe. Provient de la collection Teitgen, Paris, 26-28 octobre 2015, 900. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, silver half écu of the palms of 1694, Metz mint, second reformation. Obverse: cuirassed bust right; reverse: crowned round arms of France between two palms. Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)"
The demi-écu aux palmes was struck 1693-1701, the majority over older types. The first two years are common but the issues dwindled later. This is a better date.
Recorded mintage: unknown but all rf.
