This issue, from the Lille mint, is one of a type struck during the reign of Charles X from four mints. This specimen was lot 1203 in Jean Elsen sale 121 (Brussels, June 2014), where it sold for €220 (about US$352 including buyers' fees). The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE, Charles X (1824-1830), AV 20 francs, 1825 W, Lille. Très Beau.'' (kingdom of [[France]], Charles X (1824-30), gold twenty francs of 1825, Lille mint, very fine.)"</blockquote> Paris mint issues are reasonably common but the branch mint issues are all rare. A complete set of this type (1825-30) comprises 17 date and mintmark combinations. ''Le Franc''<sup>[1]</sup> estimates a total mintage of 1.69 million for the whole type, compared to the preceding Louis XVIII 20 francs (1816-24), which number about 12.7 million. All gold twenty francs were officially recalled in 1928 but effectively ceased to circulate in [[France]] during World War I.
