This specimen was lot 23543 in Heritage sale 3030 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $5,875. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Louis XIV gold 2 Louis d'Or 1690-A, AU58 PCGS, full original mint luster, the obverse features are somewhat crude due to a very late die state. Very scarce type." This ''double louis d'or à l'écu'' was the first double Louis to be struck since the ''double Louis d'or à la mèche longue'' issued in the 1650's. This date is common for the type but the type as a whole is scarce to rare.
