FRANCE. Ecu d'Or, 1566-A. Charles IX (1560-74). NGC MS-61.
Dupl-1057; Fr-378. Deep old-time tone through the legends attesting to the original qualities of the coin. Nicely centered with only minor weakness in one small area near 2 o'clock obverse. Struck in a relatively peaceful year during the French War of Religion, which pitted Christian (Catholic) against Christian (Huguenot) and lasted through most of the second half of the 16th century. NGC MS-61.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
