This specimen was lot 22507 in Stack's Bowers 2018 NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $156. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. 1/2 Ecu, 1702-BB. Strasbourg Mint. Louis XIV (1643-1715). PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, VF Details Secure Holder. Toned. From the Brighton Collection." Shown is a 1702-BB demi-écu aux insignes of the Strasbourg mint in France.
