France
Louis XVI gold 2 Louis d'or 1786-T MS63 NGC, Nantes mint, KM592.14, Fr-474, Gad-363. An attractive example of the type and grade, with sublime luster that washes over the devices, highlighting their intricately detailed features. It appears as though a number of light scuffs located in the reflective, reverse fields are the only perceivable imperfections on this piece, and likely preclude a finer designation. A selection that truly engages the eye at every turn, and in this well-preserved quality, is absolutely deserving of prolonged study and a premium bid.
