This specimen was lot 22511 in Stack's Bowers 2018 NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $720. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Ecu, 1771-A. Paris Mint. Louis XV (1715-74). PCGS AU-53 Secure Holder. Nice strike, lightly toned with strong underlying luster." This coin, called an écu à la vieille tête, was the French equivalent of a dollar. The type was struck 1770-74 and is recorded for fourteen mints. The type is common, despite its short run, but usually comes badly made so choice specimens bring a premium. The 1771-A from the Paris mint is only slightly less common than the type dates (1772-L, 1773-L, 1774-A, 1774-L).
Reported Mintage: unknown but a common date.
Specification: 29.49 g, 0.917 fine silver, 39-42 mm diameter, lettered edge.
Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 821, Dr/2 № 589, Dav-1332; KM-551.1; Gad-322.
