This specimen was lot 1125 in Jean Elsen sale 124 (Brussels, March 2015), where it sold for €240 (about US$299 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,

The type is also known for 1830-A (Paris mint), 1831-T (Nantes mint), 1831-A (Paris 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.
