Heritage sale 61259, lot 99201
H61259-99201r.jpg

This specimen was lot 99201 in Heritage sale 61259 (Dallas, TX, February 2022), where it sold for $1,560. The catalog description[1] noted, "France: Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1725-I UNC Details (Saltwater Damage) NGC, Limoges mint. Large palms variety. A handsome uncirculated piece, showcasing unhandled details with just a scattering of haymarking over the flan. The final date for this beloved type, and the first example we have been able to locate coming to auction since the Ford piece in 2006." The specimen shown is a louis d'or Mirliton, grandes palmes, struck at the Limoges mint (mintmark "I") during the minority of king Louis XV. This type was struck 1723-25 only but from twenty-eight 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 This type superseded the louis d'or Mirliton, palmes courtes, struck 1723 only, and was superseded in turn by the louis d'or aux lunettes, struck 1726-40.

Recorded mintage: 6,000.

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