The specimen shown is a louis d'or Mirliton, palmes courtes, struck at the Grenoble mint (mintmark "Z") during the minority of king Louis XV. This type was struck 1723 only but from twenty-seven 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 This type was superseded by the louis d'or Mirliton, palmes longues, struck 1723-25. That coin in turn was superseded by the louis d'or aux lunettes, struck 1726-40.
Recorded mintage: 48,070.
Specification: 6.52 g, 0.917 fine gold, 22-23 mm diameter, reeded edge, designed by Norbert Roëttiers.
Catalog reference: Dr/4 № 798, Dr/2 № 537, KM 468 (unlisted mint).
