France
Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1723-AA AU58 NGC, Metz mint, KM-Unl., Gad-338 (R3), Dup-1638A. Short palms variety. A flashy representative preserved at the very boundary of Mint State designations and dressed in an eye appeal more akin to a finer technical grade, punctuated by residual luster and ample reflectivity witnessed to the fields. Quite the scarce issue and seen at auction only a handful of times in recent decades, noted with scant instances of residue or encrustation, lending to a potential attribution of the Le Chameau shipwreck.
