FRANCE. 1/2 Ecu, 1679-B. Louis XIV (1643-1715). NGC VF Details--Tooled.
Gad-178; Duplessy-1494. Struck in a year that saw Louis XIV end more wars than he started, with both the Treaty of Fontainebleau and Saint-Germainen-Laye being forced upon adversaries, as well as the Peace of Lund. Tooling marks in the obverse field in an attempt to remove deposits from the surface of the coin. The overall look is pleasant with a remarkably detailed portrait. NGC VF Details--Tooled.
Estimate: $150.00- $200.00
