Minted during the reign of King Louis XV, these coins were produced at the Paris Mint (or other royal mints) using advanced screw-press technology and intended primarily for large-value circulation and overseas shipment — often aboard vessels engaged in transatlantic or colonial trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObverse: Features a right-facing bust of Louis XV with classical Roman styling, typically draped and cuirassed, surrounded by the legend:\u003cbr\u003e“LUD XV D G FR ET NAV REX” — Louis XV, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReverse: Displays the crowned cruciform shield arms of France and Navarre, formed by four quartered shields with fleurs-de-lis, and the motto:\u003cbr\u003e“CHRS REGN VINC IMP” — Christ reigns, conquers, commands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese examples are of particular significance due to their shipwreck provenance — likely recovered from one of several known 18th-century French maritime disasters where gold coins were lost en route to colonies or trade outposts. Their underwater preservation and subsequent recovery have left the coins with well-protected details and, remarkably, prooflike reflectivity in some specimens — an extremely rare phenomenon for circulated French gold of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirtually uncirculated, strong luster, minimal surface disruption, and near-Mint State eye appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIZE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67734369566890,"sku":"1522896-018","price":10557.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1602\/9059\/files\/75_6825b199-88d0-4e8f-b92e-94c3d03da84c.jpg?v=1747332842","url":"https:\/\/bmcham.com\/products\/1753-gold-louis-dor-shipwreck-ngc-au58-copy","provider":"Hard Asset Management, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
