UNSEEN TREASURE FROM NEW FRANCE
During the 17th and 18th centuries, French coins were a cornerstone of commerce in New France. Shipped across the treacherous Atlantic Ocean, many were lost at sea, only to become the coveted prize of treasure hunters centuries later. Such was the case with the 1723 Louis d'or Mirliton and the 1726 Louis d'or aux lunettes.
The Louis d'or aux deux L issued between 1720 and 1723 is one gold coin believed to have voyaged safely across the ocean. Historians believe the 1721 issue did indeed circulate among the colony's merchants and officials. They cite a letter dated July 1, 1721 indicating new gold coins were being shipped to Philippe de Rigaud de Vaudreuil, Governor General of New France at the time.
No archaeological evidence to support this fact has ever been uncovered and the true fate of the 1721 Louis d'or on this side of the Atlantic remains ascaptivating as its successors that were claimed by the sea-an elusivetreasure waiting to be discovered.
