This specimen was lot 34589 in Heritage sale 3094 (Chicago, August 2021), where it sold for $3,600. The catalog description[1] noted, "France: Louis XV gold Louis d'Or 1725-BB MS63 NGC, Strasbourg mint, A scarce offering from a mint unrecognized by the Standard Catalog of World Coins for this date. Lustrous and highly watery throughout the surfaces, which display scattered, unidirectional adjustment marks, not to be confused with handling. Evidence of an overtype is visible within the legends. The sole specimen certified by PCGS to date. From the Long Island Collection." This type superseded the louis d'or Mirliton, palmes courtes, struck in France in 1723, and was replaced by the louis d'or aux lunettes, struck in large quantities 1726-40. A number were recovered from the wreck of Le Chameau but most were corroded. This type is the lowest weight louis struck during the reign of Louis XV. This date is not awarded a premium.
