Louis XV Proof Ecu 1740-A PR66 NGC, KM512.1, Dav-1331, Gad-322. The first year from this series, featuring the beautifully coiffed, long-haired portrait of Louis XV atop reflective, argent-gray surfaces. Each intricately styled detail is fully struck and excitingly crisp, and dark tone has gathered around the devices, producing a subtle three-dimensional effect when compared to the low-lying watery mirrors. A coin that has clearly been well cared for, likely housed in a cabinet for centuries, and presently the finest certified Proof example of the date by NGC.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
