Heritage sale 3032, lot 24645
France 1660X demiecu rev H3032-24645.jpg

This specimen was lot 24645 in Heritage sale 3032 (Chicago, April 2014), where it did not sell. The catalog description[2] noted, "Louis XIII 1/2 Écu 1660/59-X, Amiens mint, XF45 NGC. An adequate strike for the type, with even gray patina and reverse adjustment marks as often seen on these early French types. This is an extremely rare issue, unpriced in all references. Gadoury does not even list a rarity for this piece, which means they probably have no record of this piece, at all. The overdate is quite bold and easily visible and this may be the only example that anyone has seen of this exceedingly rare date and mint." The specimen shown is a demi-écu juvénile, buste d'Amiens struck at Rennes during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Droulers[1] devotes catalog numbers 530 thru 557 to describe the numerous variations of this bust, introduced in 1659 when the king was 21 years old. This issue is one of the common dates of the type but it is still priced double a common date demi-écu à la mèche longue.

Recorded mintage: 6,420[1].

Specification: 13.72 g, 0.917 fine silver, 31-32 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by Jean Warin.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 541, Dr/2 № 316, Gad-173, KM 202.14.
