Jean Elsen sale 124, lot 949

This specimen was lot 949 in Jean Elsen sale 124 (Brussels, March 2015), where it sold for €600 (about US$748 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,

"FRANCE, Royaume, Louis XV (1715-1774), AV louis d'or au bandeau, 1757 N, Montpellier. Droit: Tête à gauche, ceinte d'un bandeau. Revers: Ecus ovales de France et de Navarre sous une couronne. Provient de Bourgey, Versailles, 7 octobre 1967, 259. Très Rare. presque Superbe. (kingdom of France, Louis XV (1715-74), gold louis of the ribbon of 1757, Montpellier mint. Obverse: head to left, hair tied in a ribbon; reverse: oval arms of France and Navarre under a crown. From Bourgey, Versailles, October 1967, lot 259. Very rare, almost extremely fine.)"

The year 1757 was not a good one for louis d'or, with no common dates. Montpellier struck this type 1740-47, 1755-71 but always in modest quantities.

Recorded mintage: 7,074[1].

Specification: 8.158 g, 0.917 fine gold, 24 mm diameter, reeded edge; this specimen 8,11 g.

Catalog reference: Dupl., 1643; Gad-341; Fr-464, Dr/4 № 801, Dr/2 № 543, KM 513.1.
