Louis XIV gold Louis d'Or 1691-D MS64 NGC, Lyon mint, KM278.3, Fr-429. Gad-250. A superior example of this issue, struck over an earlier type of Louis d'or. The luster is full, and bright, with a light greenish-gold tint. Only a few faint contact marks are noted, with minor flan flaws from the less than perfect striking, and the overall appearance is exceptional for the type. Only one example has been certified finer by NGC.
