Jean Elsen sale 156, lot 1581

This specimen was lot 1581 in Jean Elsen sale 156 (Brussels, September 2023), where it sold for €120 (about US$154 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XIV (1643-1715), AR écu aux palmes, 1693 S, Reims. 2e réformation. D/ B. cuir. à d. R/ Ecu de France rond, couronné, entre deux palmes. Taches au droit. Très Beau. (kingdom of France, Louis XIV (1643-1715), silver écu of the palms of 1693, Reims mint, second reformation. Obverse: armored bust right; reverse: crowned round arms of France between two palms. Stains on the obverse, Very Fine.)"

The Reims mint struck both the écu aux 8 L and the écu aux palmes in 1693, the first being the scarcer. This type was struck 1693-1701 in large quantities, mostly overstriking older écus ("flans reformés"--see the specimen shown for the visible undertype). It was succeeded by the écu aux insignes.

Recorded mintage: 1,926 fn + unknown rf of the écu aux 8 L plus unknown rf of the écu aux palmes.

Specification: 27.45 g, 0.917 fine silver, this specimen 27,16 g.
