Windward Islands
Isles du Vent. French Colony - Louis XV 12 Sols 1731-H MS65 NGC, La Rochelle mint, KM-C2. Rare quality for the charming issue that was struck to provide circulating specie to the southeastern islands of the Caribbean. This example, the finest example currently observed in the NGC census, exhibits high-gloss surfaces with a rich layer of antique-gold and olive tone over each side. Few marks and bold central definition solidify the piece as one of the finest survivors of the type.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
