This specimen was lot 3444 in Sincona sale 51 (Zurich, October 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Frankreich, Louis XIV. 1643-1715. Ecu du Palement 1679 "9", Rennes. NGC XF45.'' (kingdom of [[France]], Louis XIV, 1643-1715, écu du Parlement of 1679, Rennes mint.)"</blockquote> This type was struck 1672-85 in fairly large quantities but was the victim of repeated "reformations," where older écus were called in and restruck. As a result, the type is rare today. It was succeeded by the ''écu drapé à l'antique'' of 1684-87. Droulers<sup>[1]</sup> prices this date as common, but even a common date is priced over three times that of an [[France 1652-C ecu|''écu à la mèche longue.'']]. Numerous varieties of the bust exist, including Dr/4 no. 480 and Dr/4 no. 482.

Sincona sale 51, lot 3444

This specimen was lot 3444 in Sincona sale 51 (Zürich, October 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[2] noted,

"Frankreich, Louis XIV. 1643-1715. Ecu du Palement 1679 "9", Rennes. NGC XF45. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, écu du Parlement of 1679, Rennes mint.)"

This type was struck 1672-85 in fairly large quantities but was the victim of repeated "reformations," where older écus were called in and restruck. As a result, the type is rare today. It was succeeded by the écu drapé à l'antique of 1684-87. Droulers[1] prices this date as common, but even a common date is priced over three times that of an écu à la mèche longue.. Numerous varieties of the bust exist, including Dr/4 № 480 and Dr/4 № 482.

Recorded mintage: 679,827.

Specification: 27.45 g, 0.917 fine silver, 37-41 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by F. Warin.

Catalog reference: Gad-209, Dr/4 № 479, KM 226.20, Dav-3805.
