This specimen was lot 20870 in Heritage sale 3010 (Boston, August 2010), where it sold for $1,495. The catalog description[1] noted, "Louis XIIII gold Louis d'Or 1692L, MS61 ANACS, Bayonne, date listed as RARE in the SCWC. Fully lustrous and attractive, struck over an earlier gold Louis, but with bold details nevertheless." Droulers[2] calls this type louis d'or à l'écu (louis of the shield). This louis d'or à l'écu was struck 1690-93. This type is usually found struck over older coins, a process involving all French silver and gold coinage during 1690-1709. These "reformations" were the result of financial manipulations too tedious to discuss here. The louis d'or à l'écu was succeeded by the louis d'or aux 4 L struck 1693-1700. Both these types are the first somewhat common gold coins since the 1640's but all are expensive relative to the silver écus. Droulers[2] catalogs this date as rare.
