Heritage sale 3089, lot 32512
H3089-32512r.jpg

This specimen was lot 32512 in Heritage sale 3089 (Dallas, TX, January 2021), where it sold for $2,400. The catalog description[1] noted, "France. Louis XVII bronze Essai Decime 1792 MS65 Red and Brown NGC. Fully gem, this bronze test strike is beautifully toned to a chestnut brown, with underlying reddish highlights that brighten on rotation. The central designs have been definitively struck, with crisp edging noted throughout. A scarce issue rarely offered, particularly so choice." While this piece is attested to be contemporary to the short life of Louis XVII (1787-97), it could not have been made in 1792, as his father, Louis XVI, was not executed until 1793.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: bronze.

Catalog reference: Maz-396.
