Louis XVI gold 2 Louis d'or 1786-T MS65 Prooflike NGC, Nantes mint, KM592.14. An all-around impressive piece- one hardly ever encounters genuinely prooflike French gold of this period, particularly in such a denomination. There are a number of die polish lines noted, as one would expect for a prooflike issue, as well as a few very light adjustment marks at the top of the reverse just above the shield, but neither of these facts in any way impairs the eye appeal of this coin. Blazing luster with an almost cameo-contrast with the devices make this the sort of coin that one will likely not see again any time soon.
Estimate: 3000-4000 USD
