Jean Elsen sale 145, lot 1170

This specimen was lot 1170 in Jean Elsen sale 145 (Brussels, September 2020), where it sold for €70 (about US$100 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XV (1715-1774), AR dixième d'écu de Navarre, 1718AA, Metz. D/ B. enfantin à d., l., dr. et cuir. R/ Ecu écartelé de France-Navarre, échancré et couronné. Rare Griffe au droit. presque Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XV, 1715-74, silver tenth écu of Navarre of 1718, Metz mint. Obverse: laureate, draped and armored infant bust to right; reverse: crowned arms of France and Navarre. Rare, obverse scratch, about Very Fine.)"

This type is noted for 1718-19 and is rather scarcer than the dixième d'écu vertugadin of 1715-18. Many mints issued both types in 1718 but not Metz. The next issue of this denomination was in 1726.

Recorded mintage:est. 646,000.

Specification: 2.44 g, 0.917 fine silver, .722 troy oz ASW, 22 mm diameter, reeded edge, designed by Norbert Roëttiers, this specimen 2,29 g.

Catalog reference: KM 432.2, Dr/4 № 848, Dr/2 № 564, Dupl-1660; Gad-290.
