This specimen was lot 20432 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), where it did not sell. The catalog description[2] noted, "FRANCE. Ecu, 1723-A. Louis XV (1715-74). NGC MS-61. Draped laureate young bust right. Clear evidence of having been overstruck on an earlier 1718-A or 1719-A armored young bust type (KM-435.1) with the mint mark easily readable. An all white example without a trace of tone, beaming bright luster, and the portrait in particular is quite nice." An écu au grand écusson de France of the Paris mint, struck while Louis XV was a minor. Droulers[1] notes the type as rather scarce but more available than the succeeding écu aux 8 L of 1724-25. The type was issued 1720-24.
