This specimen was lot 70453 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, February 2020), where it sold for $384. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Ecu, 1717-G. Poitiers Mint. Louis XV. NGC AU-53. An evenly worn and presentable circulated ecu, exhibiting ample evidence of an undertype, with pervasive dark gray to charcoal toning."

At the time of issue, it had a face value of 5 livres tournois, which rose to 15 livres in July 1720 but was demonetized in September 1720 at a value of 13 livres, 2 sols, 6 deniers.
