Bust of Louis XV left / Crowned arms in wreath with date and mintmark.

Simply breathtaking in hand, the planchet of this specimen is a rich aged-gold color and Roettier's superb engraving of the king has been definitively struck. Numerous light handling marks are noted across the field but do not detract from the eye appeal of this gorgeous rarity. An outstanding piece, sure to elicit spirited bidding from high-tier collectors of the French numismatic series.
