France
Louis XV gold Louis d'or 1748-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM513.1, Fr-464, Gad-330. A coin that dazzles when placed under the light with a watercolor-like pattern of coppery iridescent color that drenches the surfaces and clings to the obverse design elements. Showing an excellent portrait of the King--with all facial and hair details fully-executed--along with reflective fields that are free of any noticeable imperfections. A visually sublime coin that ultimately lends itself to an even finer designation.
