This specimen was lot 964 in Jean Elsen sale 123 (Brussels, December 2014), where it sold for €270 (about US$392 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Louis-Philippe (1830-1848), AV 20 francs, 1831 W, Lille. Tête nue. Tranche en relief. Petit coup sur la tranche et fine griffe au revers. Superbe. (kingdom of France, Louis Philippe (1830-48), gold twenty francs of 1831, Lille mint, bare head, raised lettered edge. Small rim nick and light scratch on the reverse, extremely fine.)"
The type is also known for 1830-A {Paris mint), 1831-B (Rouen mint), 1831-T (Nantes mint) and 1831-W (Lille mint) but all the other dates are rare. In 1832 the Tiolier bust was dropped in favor of the Domard bust, which was used until the end of the regime in 1848.
Recorded mintage: 106,582 (raised and sunken edge lettering). Somewhat scarce.
Specification: 6.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, 21 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE, designed by Joseph François Domard (1792-1858).
Catalog reference: F.525/5, Fr-553, Gad-1030a.
