from Stack's Bowers November 2015 sale, lot 42214
France SB1115-42214r.jpg

This specimen was lot 42214 in Stack's Bowers Winter sale (Baltimore, November 2015), where it sold for $123.38. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Ecu, 1774-D. Lyon Mint. Louis XV (1715-74). PCGS Genuine--Cleaning, AU Details Secure Holder. Lightly cleaned and now retoning. Adjustment marks evident, but no trace of harsh cleaning. Lots of detail with a great strike, a very presentable example of the issue." The long reign of Louis XV (1715-74) saw many coin types come and go. The first part of the reign, while Louis was a child, was a period of monetary confusion and manipulation. The reforms of Cardinal Fleury (1726) stabilized the fiscal situation until the total collapse at the eve of the Revolution. Numismatically, this period can be divided into three epochs, marked by the écu aux branches d’olivier (1726-40), the écu au bandeau (1740-72) and the écu à la vielle tête (1770-74). This specimen belongs to the late period. This type is notorious for bad strikes and heavy adjustment marks and most survivors have been harshly cleaned. This is a somewhat scarce date.

Recorded mintage: 260,238[2].

Specification: 29.48 g, 0.917 fine silver, lettered edge.

Catalog reference: Dav-1332, KM-551.5, Gad-323; Dr/4 № 821.
