This specimen was lot 1008 in Jean Elsen sale 123 (Brussels, December 2014), where it sold for €450 (about US$654 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Louis-Philippe (1830-1848), AV 20 francs, 1845 W, Lille. 5018 p. frappées. Rare. Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis Philippe (1830-48), gold twenty francs of 1845, Lille mint, 5018 pieces struck. Rare, very fine.)"
This type, struck 1832-48, was recalled in 1928 and demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate in France during World War One. It superseded the Tiolier head used 1830-31 (F.524 and F.525). Branch mint issues include Rouen (mintmark "B"), Lille (mintmark "W") and Bayonne (mintmark "L"). Records show 773,000 forty franc pieces were minted during the reign, compared to 9.13 million twenty franc pieces and 335 million silver five franc pieces. This date is rare.
Recorded mintage: 4,994.
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: Gad-1031; Fr-560, F.527/34, KM 750.4.
