Jean Elsen sale 141, lot 1227

This specimen was lot 1227 in Jean Elsen sale 141 (Brussels, June 2019), where it sold for €850 (about US$1,127 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AV louis d'or à la mèche longue, 1653, Arras (AR et rat). D/ T. enfantine laurée à d. R/ Croix formée de huit L couronnés, cantonnée de quatre lis. Double frappe au droit. presque Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, gold louis of the long lock of 1653, Arras mint. Obverse: laureate head right; reverse: cross formed of eight crowned "L's", cantonned with four lilies. Double struck on obverse, about Very Fine.)"

This louis d'or à la mèche longue, struck at the Arras mint 1646-56, is among the more available louis of Louis XIV. It is still an expensive coin.

Recorded mintage: 600, a scarce date.

Specification: 6.75 g, .917 fine gold, plain edge, designed by Jean Warin, this specimen 6,62 g.
