Anglo-Gallic. Henry VI of England (1422-53) gold Salut d'or ND MS66 NGC, Saint-Lô mint, 2nd Emission, from 6 September 1423, Fr-301, Duplessy-443A, Elias-271. (lis mm) hЄИRICVS : DЄI : GRA : FRACORV : Ƶ : AGLIЄ : RЄX, the Virgin Mary standing behind the arms of France facing the Archangel Gabriel standing behind the quartered arms of France and England, handing her a scroll bearing AVЄ beneath the light of God / (lis mm) XPC' * VIИCIT * XPC' * RЄGИAT * XPC' * IMPЄRAT, Latin cross above "h" within tressure of arches, a lis and leopard to either side. A beautiful Gem Mint State example with lovely red toning and a bold strike in almost unheard-of condition. This ever-popular type is more often collected by British collectors than French, though for historical accuracy we place it under France in our catalog. This is very possibly the finest-known of this type; we note that the highest price ever paid for a coin of this type that we could find was an NGC MS63 example sold by Goldberg's in February 2008 for a hammer price of $7,250.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
