- Curator's comments
- Jacquiot does not attribute it. "Generi et Virtuti" is signed I. Dollin - the same protrait. Faint traces of signature are visible on the piece. BN SR 599 and 600 have different obverse - portrait of Louis XIV as an older man. See L-le-G 1702,60: Louis XIV exh 85: T N Med Fr III 13,1: Mus Mon 58,90.
