Louis XVI gold Louis d'Or 1786-D MS65 NGC, Lyon mint, KM591.5, Fr-475. A shimmering Gem example of this popular type coin. The strike is extremely bold for the issue, with highly reflective fields and bright golden patina. Close examination of the reverse reveals a small area of very faint adjustment marks that do not detract from the overall appearance. ONly one piece has been certified finer, and we seriously doubt that it is finer than this exceptional example.
