Louis XIV gold Louis d'or a la meche longue 1649-H MS65 NGC, La Rochelle mint, KM157.9, Fr-418, Gad-245. "Fine curl" subtype. Bright golden mint luster, with a sharp strike and no significant flaws. The extraordinary state of preservation is truly amazing for a coin of this age and especially so with the minute mintage of 967 pieces. Very few examples survive of this tiny mintage in any condition, and this stunning piece is the only current Louis d'or of either the long curl, or the short curl, of all mints, currently certified in MS65, or finer, by either NGC, or PCGS.
