Jean Elsen sale 145, lot 1144

This specimen was lot 1144 in Jean Elsen sale 145 (Brussels, September 2020), where it sold for €500 (about US$713 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AR écu de Flandre aux palmes, 1694W, Lille. 2e réformation. D/ B. cuir. à d. R/ Ecu rond couronné entre deux palmes, écartelé aux armes de France, Bourgogne nouveau, Bourgogne ancien et Navarre. Rare Réformé sur un écu de Flandre du premier type. Beau/Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, silver écu of Flanders with palms of 1694, Lille mint, second reformation. Obverse: armored bust right; reverse: round quartered arms between two palms. The quarters are France, New Burgundy, Old Burgundy and Navarre. Rare, struck over an écu of Flanders of the first type. Fine/Very Fine.)"
