Louis XV Proof Ecu 1740-A PR64 NGC, Paris mint, KM512.1, Dav-1331, Gad-322. First year of issue and the only date listed as a Proof in the SCWC, featuring a thick layer of gunmetal color across both sides and champagne-blush opalescence that flashes from below the tone. The portrait of Louis XV has been boldly struck, leaving each curl of his hair crisply edged and utterly lifelike. Bordering on Gem and while not the finest certified example, one that could be considered conservative for the grade. Beautiful in hand and ideal for center placement in its next cabinet.
