Louis XVI gold Louis d'Or 1786-D MS66 NGC, Lyon mint, KM591.5, Fr-475. A sublime jewel with vibrant, citrus color and surfaces that emit a phenomenal amount of undisturbed mint bloom that easily cascades the surfaces, brightening detailed design illustrations that soar to full completion along the way. Upon rotation, total freshness is observed from every angle, and the central motifs show no evidence of planchet adjustment, which so often mars the portrait on this type. Outstanding in all regards and in an incomparable state of preservation.
