This specimen was lot 1665 in Sincona sale 47 (Zurich, May 2018), where it sold for 250 CHF (about US$300 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANKREICH, Konigreich, Louis XIV. 1643-1715. Ecu aux insignes 1702 T, Nantes. Réformation. Sehr schön-vorzüglich.'' (kingdom of [[France]], Louis XIV, 1643-1715, écu of the insignia of 1702, Nantes mint, reformed. Very fine-extremely fine.)"</blockquote> The specimen shown is an ''écu aux insignes'' ("écu with insignia") struck in Nantes during the reign of Louis XIV. This type was struck 1701-04 in substantial quantities, mostly overstriking older écus ("flans reformés"--see the specimen shown for the visible undertype). It was succeeded by the ''écu aux 8 L, 2éme type''. Droulers<sup>[2]</sup> prices this date as a common date, but even a common date is priced 40% higher than an ''écu à la mèche longue''.

Sincona sale 47, lot 1665

This specimen was lot 1665 in Sincona sale 47 (Zürich, May 2018), where it sold for 250 CHF (about US$300 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANKREICH, Konigreich, Louis XIV. 1643-1715. Ecu aux insignes 1702 T, Nantes. Réformation. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, écu of the insignia of 1702, Nantes mint, reformed. Very fine-extremely fine.)"

The specimen shown is an écu aux insignes ("écu with insignia") struck in Nantes during the reign of Louis XIV. This type was struck 1701-04 in substantial quantities, mostly overstriking older écus ("flans reformés"--see the specimen shown for the visible undertype). It was succeeded by the écu aux 8 L, 2éme type. Droulers[2] prices this date as a common date, but even a common date is priced 40% higher than an écu à la mèche longue.

Recorded mintage: 24,467 on new blanks plus 624,261 "reformed". The rf is the most common date of the type after the 1702-A.

Specification: 27.45 g, 0.917 fine silver; this specimen 27.22 g.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 513, Gadoury 220. Dav-1316.
