FRANCE. 1/2 Louis d'Or, 1701-C. Caen Mint Louis XIV (1643-1715). ANACS AU-50.
Fr-437; KM-332.3; Gad-241. "demi-louis d'or aux huit L et aux insignes" from a RARE type struck 1701-03. This date is NOT listed in Gadoury or the SCWC. It is struck over a "demi-louis aux quatre L" of 1694. Despite the often-derided ANACS holder, we have no quibble with the assigned grade as the portrait, date and mint are bold and clear with no obnoxious problems. Our first offering of this type. Well struck with a bold portrait, lustrous and attractive. ANACS AU-50.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
