FRANCE. Ecu, 1979. NGC PL-68.
KM-X32. Mintage of 1,460 pieces struck for the European Economic Community during the early days of planning for a single European currency. Because of France's previous Ecu coins from the 18th century (and earlier), the Ecu was deemed inappropriate as a denomination by many members outside of France and hence was never adopted. Nice artwork, with the coins of member states on the reverse in periphery. A must-have addition for collectors of coins featuring coins. Big chunk of gold, 1.4789 Troy ounces AGW. NGC PL-68.
Estimate: $1700.00- $2000.00
