Louis XIV Ecu 1710-(9) MS65 NGC, Rennes mint, KM386.23, Dav-1324. A marvel of existence toned in splendorous shades, with a base of steel-gray highlighted by lime-green, sky-blue and violet coloration that encircles the devices, highlighting the protected areas of the central motif. Beneath the tone, glowing luster remains fully evident, further elevating the outstanding nature of this selection, and the strike quality is exceptional, with all details boldly rendered and sharp--a true feat considering the fact that these issues are commonly plagued by significant planchet adjustments. If not for a small natural rim inclusion at 2 o'clock, this selection may have graded one point higher. A truly elite specimen of the type, and an absolute prize for the connoisseur of exceptionally preserved crowns.
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
