Heritage sale 61259, lot 99139
H61259-99139r.jpg

This specimen was lot 99139 in Heritage sale 61259 (Dallas, TX, February 2022), where it sold for $2,040. The catalog description[1] noted, "France: Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1723-R AU58 NGC, Orleans mint. Short palms variety. An attractive specimen from this sought-after series, limited by a gentle dispersion of handling friction and wisps." The specimen shown is a louis d'or Mirliton, palmes courtes, struck at the Orléans mint (mintmark "R") during the minority of king Louis XV. This type was struck 1723 only but from twenty-seven mints. It would be extremely rare but for a quantity recovered in 1965 from the wreck of Le Chameau, a French troopship discovered off the coast of Nova Scotia. This type was superseded by the louis d'or Mirliton, palmes longues, struck 1723-25. That coin in turn was superseded by the louis d'or aux lunettes, struck 1726-40.

Recorded mintage: unknown plus a few louis d'or aux 2 L.

Specification: 6.52 g, 0.917 fine gold, 22-23 mm diameter, reeded edge, designed by Norbert Roëttiers.
