This specimen was lot 1248 in Jean Elsen sale 141 (Brussels, June 2019), where it sold for €120 (about US$159 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AR demi-écu au buste juvénile, 1666M, Toulouse. 1er type. D/ B. l. et dr. à d. R/ Ecu de France couronné. Fines griffes. presque Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV, 1643-1715, silver half écu of the juvenile bust of 1666, Toulouse mint, first type. Obverse: draped and armored bust right; reverse: crowned arms of France. Fine scratches, about Very Fine.)"
The demi-écu au buste juvénile was struck 1661-72. There is so much variation from mint to mint that Droulers has a subtype for each mint.
Recorded mintage: 120,942.
Specification: 13.72 g, 0.917 fine silver, 32-33 mm diameter, plain edge, engraved by Jean Warin, this specimen 13,56 g.
