Louis XVIII 5 Francs 1814-L MS64 NGC, Bayonne mint, KM702.8. First Restoration period. A significant issue all around, featuring the uniformed bust of Louis XVIII and the crowned arms of France. Of note are the fresh surfaces which are silky in nature and display an exciting amount of champagne luster, as well as boldly-struck design motifs which sit high atop the surrounding tone. An undeniable, conditional rarity from an era in French history that only lasted six months, highly-collectible as such.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
