This specimen was lot 1531 in Jean Elsen sale 147 (Brussels, June 2021), where it sold for €650 (about US$950 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AR écu à la cravate, 1682K, Bordeaux. 2e émission. D/ B. dr. et cuir. à d., portant une perruque et une cravate brodée. R/ Ecu de France couronné. Rare Légère trace de bélière. Beau portrait. Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, silver écu of the necktie of 1682, Bordeaux mint, second issue. Obverse: draped and armored bust right, in a wig and embroidered necktie; reverse: crowned arms of France. Rare, light trace of jewelry use, nice portrait, Very Fine.)"
The écu à la cravate was struck 1672-85 in fairly large quantities but was the victim of repeated "reformations," where older écus were called in and restruck. As a result, the type is rare today. It was succeeded by the écu drapé à l'antique of 1684-87.
Recorded mintage: unknown but a slightly scarce date of a rare type.
Specification: 27.45 g, 0.917 fine silver; this specimen 27,10 g.
