Louis XIV Ecu 1683-(9) XF Details (Filed Rims) PCGS, Rennes mint, KM253.5, Gad-213 (unlisted date/mint), L4L.231 (unlisted date/mint). Likely set in jewelry at one time and once polished, but retoned nicely with deep gray around the design and faint gray-purple coloration in the centers. Evidence of rim filing is not apparent in the holder, and likely refers to the edges. The first year that the mint produced this type, and apparently extremely rare, as several French catalogs that were consulted failed to list this date/mint combination altogether, and the Standard Catalog of World Coins just lists it with dashes. Sure to captivate the specialist as such.
