Louis XIV Ecu 1686-A MS62 NGC, Paris mint, KM255.1, Dav-3809. An extremely difficult piece to encounter in such a pleasing state of preservation, this impressive, near-choice specimen offers a great strike for issue, along with sublimely argent surfaces and just a hint of a darker, russet tone near the peripheries. Some evidence of the understrike is visible, most notably on the reverse, providing a glimpse into the past life of this piece. A rare opportunity to acquire a mint state Ecu of the "Sun King."
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
