Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1724-)( AU Details (Saltwater Damage) NGC, Besançon mint, KM-Unl., Gad-339 (R2), Dup-1638, L4L-466 (R2). Large palms variety. From the 1725 Le Chameau shipwreck. Exhibiting fully defined devices, with few adjustment marks over pale-gold fields showing minor encrustations. A pleasing rarity, displaying bold motifs, with few adjustment marks, dressed in sun-gold toning. Much more elusive than Gadoury might suggest; the only other example of which we are aware is the Donald G. Patrick specimen, which certified at an UNC Details.
