Louis XIII silver Piefort 1/4 Ecu 1643-A XF40 NGC, Paris mint, KM-P43, Gad-43, Duplessy - cf. 1352. 27.3g. Entirely pleasing for this quadruple thickness issue (normal weight is 6.75g), lightly circulated as essentially all survivors are, but retaining strong detail, with lovely gray tone that holds attractive subtle multicolored iridescent hues around much of the outer peripheries. In this piefort format, rarely appearing on the market.
