Jean Elsen sale 124, lot 1106

This specimen was lot 1106 in Jean Elsen sale 124 (Brussels, March 2015), where it sold for €200 (about US$249 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Louis XVIII, seconde restauration (1815-1824), AV 20 francs, 1824 W, Lille. Léger défaut de flan au revers. Très Beau à Superbe. (France, Louis XVIII, second restoration (1815-24), gold twenty francs of 1824, Lille mint. Light planchet defect on the reverse, very fine to extremely fine.)"

This issue, from the Lille mint, is one of a type struck during the reign of Louis XVIII from seven mints. Paris mint issues are reasonably common but the branch mint issues are generally rare. A complete set of this type (1816-24) comprises 34 date and mintmark combinations. Le Franc[2] estimates a total mintage of 12.7 million for the whole type. All gold twenty francs were officially recalled in 1928 but effectively ceased to circulate during World War I.

Recorded mintage: 252,713[2], a common date.

Specification: 6.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, 21 mm diameter, edge lettered DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM, Designed by August François Michaud, 1786-1879.

Catalog reference: Gad-1028; Fr-539, F.519/30, KM 712.7.
