This specimen was lot 1127 in Jean Elsen sale 145 (Brussels, September 2020), where it sold for €800 (about US$1,140 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AR écu à la cravate, 16829, Rennes. 2e émission. D/ B. dr. et cuir. à d., portant une perruque et une cravate brodée. R/ Ecu de France couronné. Rare Nombreuses traces d'ajustage. Belle patine. Superbe. Provient de Weil, Paris, novembre 2002. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, silver écu of the necktie of 1682, Rouen mint, second emission. Obverse: draped and armored bust right, wearing an embroidered cravat; reverse: crowned arms of France. Rare, many adjustment marks, nice patina, Extremely Fine.)"
The écu à la cravate was struck 1672-85 in fairly large quantities but was the victim of repeated "reformations," where older écus were called in and restruck. As a result, the type is rare today. It was succeeded by the écu drapé à l'antique of 1684-87. Droulers[2] prices this date as common, but even a common date is priced over three times that of an écu à la mèche longue.
Recorded mintage: 298,614.
Specification: 27.45 g, 0.917 fine silver, 37-41 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by F. Warin, the second specimen 27,31 g.
