Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1723-A UNC Details (Saltwater Damage) NGC, Paris mint, KM470.1, Gad-338. Short palms variety. Superb details, with the matte-like surfaces often seen on gold coins from saltwater. Scarce. Likely from the 1725 Le Chameau shipwreck, though we have no documentation for this with the coin. Sold with old collector envelope detailing provenance.
Ex. John J. Ford, Jr. Collection
