Louis XVI gold 2 Louis d'or 1789-K MS65 NGC, Bordeaux mint, KM592.8. An exceptional survivor from this branch mint, boasting a mintage of only 23,000 coins, none of which rival this coin in the combined NGC and PCGS population reports. As a Gem of the issue, highly desirable as a type coin as well, with unbroken orange-gold luster in the fields and no post-strike instances of abrasive contact worthy of mention. The absence of any planchet adjustments in the surfaces, an issue that appears with great frequency on this type, further solidifies this coin's greatness.
