Jean Elsen sale 150, lot 1379

This specimen was lot 1379 in Jean Elsen sale 150 (Brussels, March 2022), where it sold for €2,800 (about US$3,712 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XV (1715-1774), AV double louis d'or au bandeau, 17609, Rennes. D/ T. à g., ceinte d'un bandeau. R/ Ecus ovales de France et de Navarre sous une couronne. Rare Fines griffes. Très Beau à Superbe. (kingdom of France, Louis XV, 1715-74, double gold louis of the hair ribbon of 1760, Rennes mint. Obverse: head left, hair tied in a ribbon; reverse: oval arms of France and Navarre under a crown. Rare, fine scratches, Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)"

This type was struck 1742-73 in some numbers. The Rennes mint issued this type every year but the 1760 appears to be the only date not extremely rare.

Recorded mintage: 23,285[2], a slightly better date.

Specification: 16.31 g, .917 fine gold, reeded edge, 28-29 mm diameter, designed by J.-C. Röettiers; this specimen 16,26 g.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 no. 792, Dupl. 1642; Gad-346.
