This specimen was lot 30247 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2015), where it sold for $2,820. The catalog description[2] noted, "FRANCE. Louis d'Or, 1787-T. Louis XVI (1774-90). NGC MS-64 PL. Finest seen at both NGC and PCGS. Outlandishly high quality for an 18th century issue, a museum piece in every way. The mirrored fields attract immediate attention, with the reverse fields in particular possessing absolutely stunning reflective qualities. A coin that is sure to be the centerpiece of any collection of 18th century French gold or related material." The years 1786-87 are common for the louis d'or à la tête nue as the mints melted down and reminted old tenor gold, but the later dates (1788-92) are much scarcer. This date from the Nantes mint is somewhat scarce.
Specification: 7.65 g, .917 fine gold, 22-23 mm diameter, designed by Benjamin Duvivier.
Recorded mintage: 221,101[1].
Catalog reference: KM-591.14, Duplessy 1707. Fr-475; Ci-2183; Gad-339; Dr/4 no. 881, Dr/2 no. 605.
