FRANCE ROYAL Louis XV (1715-1774). Silver medal, second marriage of the Dauphin with Marie-Josèphe de Saxe, by F. Marteau 1747, Paris. Divo 136; Silver – 32.68g – 41.4mm – 12 h
Divo 136 with the 13th effigy of Louis XY
Rather heavier than normal – no edge marks an original strike – also this is 42mm rather than 34mm – so a large size medal
The Dauphin Louis never became king as he died of TB (tuberculosis) in 1765
