This specimen was lot 99106 in Heritage sale 61259 (Dallas, TX, February 2022), where it sold for $504. The catalog description[1] noted, "France: Louis XV Ecu 1750-I AU50 NGC, Limoges mint. Ecu au bandeau. A seldom-seen issue of Limoges, the famed porcelain producing region of France, embellished by a notable residual luster that pervades the protected regions of the amber-tinged legends, elevating the overall visual character of the coin at hand." This product of the Limoges mint is common. The écu au bandeau is the most popular coin of the ancien regime of France 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. The Limoges mint is noted for 1741-57, 1760-70 but only one or two dates are not rare.
Recorded mintage: 1,562[2], a rare date.
Specification: 29.45 g, 0.917 fine silver, 39 mm diameter, lettered edge.
