Louis XV gold Louis d'Or Mirliton 1725-M UNC Details (Scratches) NGC, Toulouse mint, cf. KM470.12 (date unlisted), Gad-339 (R2), Dup-1638. Large palms variety. A mint-date absent from both the Ford and Partrick Collections, as well as the 1971 Parke-Bernet sale, and the first such example we have been able to locate coming to auction in recent years. Interestingly undocumented in the Standard Catalog, this piece retains thoroughly high quality details, with swirling die polish over the reverse.
