Steve Album sale 30, lot 1079
France SA30-1079r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1079 in Stephen Album sale 30 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2018), where it sold for $822.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE: Louis XV, 1715-1774, AR ½ écu, Paris, 1741-A, attractive golden toning, very light wear, lightly cleaned, NGC 'AU details surface hairlines'. A one-year-type of fine style with high relief bust, very scarce in good grade." This coin, called a demi-écu au bandeau, was the French equivalent of a half dollar. In the coinage system of the ancien régime, the half écu = three livres. The type was struck 1741-74 and Paris contributed nearly every year.

Recorded mintage: unknown[1].

Specification: 14.74 g, .917 fine silver, 31-33 mm diameter, reeded edge, designed by J.-C. Roéttiers.

Catalog reference: KM-516.1, Dr/2 no. 585, Dr/4 no. 828
