Louis XIII gold Louis d'Or 1641-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM104 (Incorrectly marked on insert), Fr-410. Long curl variety. A highly pleasing example of the type featuring the bust of Louis XIII with three berries in his laurel wreath. Almost immediately the eye is drawn to the impeccably-detailed devices--which are fully raised throughout--and then toward the open fields which are lightly mottled around the raised elements. Faint instance of haymarking are essentially unremarkable, as are a few, isolated instances that show the consequences of being struck with rusted dies. In total, this wonderfully preserved offering is undeniably choice for the grade assignment.
Estimate: 2500-3500 USD
