Louis XVI gold 2 Louis d'Or 1786-D MS64 NGC, Lyon mint, KM592.5. Second semester coinage. Undeniably worthy of its near-Gem classification, this particular offering shimmers with lightly-toned golden patination and presents a fully-bold portrait of Louis XVI. What most likely keeps this piece from a finer designation are the hints of softness that are noted within the legends. Regardless, the overall appeal of this piece is choice in all respects.
