Jean Elsen sale 154, lot 1461

This specimen was lot 1461 in Jean Elsen sale 154 (Brussels, March 2023), where it sold for €80 (about US$104 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XV (1715-1774), AR écu au bandeau, 1760 D, Lyon. D/ T. à g., ceinte d'un bandeau. R/ Ecu de France couronné, entre deux rameaux d'olivier. Rare. Traces d'ajustage. Taches noires. Très Beau. Dans le Trouvaille de Labuissière. (kingdom of France, Louis XV, 1715-74, silver écu of the ribbon of 1760, Lyon mint. Obverse: head left, hair tied in a ribbon; reverse: crowned arms of France between two olive branches. Rare, adjustment marks, Very Fine.)"

The écu au bandeau is the most popular coin of the ancien regime among collectors. Alhéritière and Deswelle[3] reported 575 dates for this type in 2004; three more have been published since. An additional 215 dates may exist; records show they were minted but no one has found one. Four dates are known which the archives state should not exist. Of these only two dozen or so are classed as common (20 or more examples known), while 481 dates are known from five or fewer examples. This date is priced[2] about four times that of the common 1765-L.

Recorded mintage: très peu[2].

Specification: 29.49 g, 0.917 fine silver, 39-41 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM, designed by Joseph-Charles Röettiers, this specimen 29,12 g.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 820, Dr/2 № 584, Dupl-1680; Gad-322, Dav-1331.
