FRANCE. Ecu, 1792-A. Louis XVI (1774-90). NGC MS-62.
Dav-1335; Gad-55; KM-615.1. A trifle of weakness to the strike, with a shallow adjustment mark across Louis' chin. Even clear apricot tone with much luster showing through. By 1792 the king's fate was pretty much sealed, though he continued to be depicted on French coinage. First year of the standing genius reverse, which must have seemed as revolutionary to the denizens of France as the revolution itself. NGC MS-62.
Estimate: $800.00- $1200.00
