Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1724-BB UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM470.3, Gad-339 (R2), Dup-1638. Large palms variety. One of reportedly a mere 8,000 examples of the type struck at the Strasbourg mint in this year, and by far the finest to have come to auction in recent memory--our research revealing just two others having sold publicly in recent years. Absent from the Ford Collection and Parke-Bernet sale, the piece here exhibits excellent sharpness to the strike, the noted cleaned having done rather little to dull the offering's overall eye appeal.
