Goldberg sale 91, lot 2243
France G91-2243r.jpg

This specimen was lot 2243 in Goldberg sale 91 (Los Angeles, June 2016), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "France. Louis d'or, 1690-P (Dijon) Almost Unc to Unc. Louis XIV. Type "a' l' ecu". Old laureate head with long hair. Reverse: Crowned arms of France. Sign of being over stuck on earlier type. Small pockets in the legend and shield show signs of being struck from rusty or a deteriorated die. Considerable original mint fresh luster with good eye appeal. Choice Almost Uncirculated to Uncirculated." This specimen is a louis d'or a l'écu, struck at the Dijon mint as part of a series of "reformations" that occurred in France during the 1690's and 1700's. The type was struck until 1693 and was superseded by the louis d'or aux 4 L, which was issued 1693-1700. While no gold coins of Louis XIV can be called inexpensive, this period is the most available until the louis d'or aux lunettes of 1726-40.

Recorded mintage: 55,240 plus 29,450 "reformed" over older coins.

Specification: 6.75 g, 0.917 fine gold, reeded edge, designed by J. Röettiers.

Catalog reference: KM 278.13, Dupl-1435A; Gad-250; Fr-429, Droulers/4 no. 406, Droulers/2 no. 258.
