The Unusual World Coins 5th editions shows this version X# MB56 with a mintage of 10,000. They were also minted in 78 (Louis XIV) and in 79 (Victoria). Both listed with a mintage of 10,000.

We buy those in over the counter at spot, and sell them for $50 over. Guy took two of them earlier this month, along with a matching set of silver pieces in six different sizes. Think they were 1/8 oz., 1/4 oz., 1/2 oz., 1 oz., 2 oz. and either 4 or 5 oz.

We handle three or four of the gold ones per year. First silver set I ever saw, though.
