Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1723-Z UNC Details (Saltwater Damage) NGC, Grenoble mint, KM-Unl., Gad-338 (R4), Dup-1638A, L4L-465 (R4). Short palms variety. A wholly captivating example of this minimally available Grenoble issue, last seen crossing the auction block at the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection in 2006; the present coin seemingly finer. Despite muted appearances typical of these sea-salvaged pieces, it is nonetheless evident that this specimen saw hardly any use in circulation and remains in a fully appreciable state of preservation.
