Louis XV Ecu 1720 AU53 NGC, Uncertain mint, possibly La Rochelle or Montpellier, Dav-1328, Gad-319, Dup-1665. Ecu de France. Flan Reforme, trefoil below bust. A curious issue overstruck on an earlier Paris-minted Ecu de France-Navarre. Unfortunately, the host details have obscured the mintmark in such a way that prevents certain attribution. Despite this, examples of this type are quite rare and usually found in lesser states of preservation than encountered here.
Ex. John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII (Stack's January 2006, Lot 377)
