Heritage sale 3096, lot 30166
H3096-30166r.jpg

This specimen was lot 30166 in Heritage auction 3096 (Dallas, TX, March 2021), where it sold for $22,800. The catalog description[1] noted,

"France. Louis XIV gold Louis d'Or 1664-A MS66+ NGC, Paris mint. Simply superb as a representative of the "Juvenile bust" type issued from 1658-1672, and indeed near the pinnacle of survivability within the Louis XIV gold series as a whole. Struck from recently polished dies, with essentially no surface marks to be seen and eye-catching luster that blends satin and semi-Prooflike elements in a manner that can only be described as glamorous. Truly an exceptional piece, and worthy of a strong bid. Ex. Hess-Divo Auction 293 (October 2003, Lot 25). From the Paramount Collection."

All louis d'or juvénile of this period are rare altho, for some reason, this date is omitted from Droulers.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.75 g, 0.917 fine gold, plain edge, designed by Jean Warin.

Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 352, 353 or 356, KM 200.1, Fr-421, Gad-246, Ciani-1789.
