Jean Elsen sale 151, lot 1522

This specimen was lot 1522 in Jean Elsen sale 151 (Brussels, June 2022), where it sold for €140 (about US$175 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XV (1715-1774), AR tiers d'écu de France, 1723T, Nantes. Flan neuf. D/ B. jeune à d., l., dr. et cuir. R/ Ecu de France couronné. Rare. Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XV, 1715-74, silver third écu of France of 1723, Nantes mint, new flan. Obverse: laureate, draped and armored young bust to right; reverse: crowned arms of France. Rare, Very Fine.)"

The type was struck 1720-23 in large numbers while the adventurer John Law dominated the French government. Many were struck over petit louis d'argent struck in 1720. This date is unusual in that it is more common on new blanks than used blanks.

Recorded mintage: 1,203,132 fn + 17,368 rf.

Specification: 8.15 g, 0.917 fine silver, 26-28 mm diameter, reeded edge, designed by N. Röettiers, this specimen 7,99 g.

Catalog reference: KM 457.20, Dupl-1667A; Gad-306, Dr/2 № 568A, Dr/4 № 832A.
