gazandjen 54 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 RARE Louis XIV, 1643-1715. Écu aux Huit L’s, 1704 AA A coin similar to this, but not as fine, went at auction for $1265. Please see the details below. http://www.stacks.com/Lot/ItemDetail/182678 FRANCE. Louis XIV, 1643-1715. Écu aux Huit L’s, 1704 AA. Metz. Réformation on 1703 Écu aux Insignes. Boldly struck and vividly detailed mature mailed bust of the “Sun King†r., much undertype visible. Rv. Four crowned double L’s with lis in angles, three lis at the center. Gad.224, Dav.1320. George Sobin Type 12, described by that great collector-researcher as “…much the rarest of all the Réformation types of Louis XIV.†Struck with only six dates. A mere handful of Metz pieces are known, few of these of a quality comparable to this extraordinary example, certainly a candidate for finest known. Choice About Uncirculated. (1,500-2,000) You can tell by the example of the scanned image that the coin is of finer detail and is superbly rare. Looking for £850 Link to post Share on other sites
