This specimen was lot 851 in Sincona sale 63 (Zurich, June 2020), where it sold for 250 CHF (about US$313 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Frankreich, konigreich, Constitution, 1791-1793. Ecu de 6 livres 1792 / AN 4 N, Montpellier. Sehr schön. Justiert.'' (kingdom of [[France]], constitutional period, écu of six livres of 1792, Montpellier mint. Very fine, Adjustment marks.)"</blockquote> This specimen is a "constitutional écu" struck at the Montpellier mint, one of a type struck there 1792-93, prior to the trial and execution of the king. Its divisions were the ½, 1/4 and 1/8 écu, struck in billon. The écu was worth $1.10 in the USA before the Civil War. The 1792-A and 1793-A are the most available dates of this scarce type.

Sincona sale 63. lot 851

This specimen was lot 851 in Sincona sale 63 (Zürich, June 2020), where it sold for 250 CHF (about US$313 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Frankreich, konigreich, Constitution, 1791-1793. Ecu de 6 livres 1792 / AN 4 N, Montpellier. Sehr schön. Justiert. (kingdom of France, constitutional period, écu of six livres of 1792, Montpellier mint. Very fine, Adjustment marks.)"

This specimen is a "constitutional écu" struck at the Montpellier mint, one of a type struck there 1792-93, prior to the trial and execution of the king. Its divisions were the ½, 1/4 and 1/8 écu, struck in billon. The écu was worth $1.10 in the USA before the Civil War. The 1792-A and 1793-A are the most available dates of this scarce type.

Recorded mintage: unknown but scarce.
