Louis XV Ecu 1772-L MS62 NGC, Bayonne mint, KM551.9, Gad-323, Dav-1332. The single highest certified specimen of this type, the next highest 4 points lower at AU58. Sure to appeal to grade-conscious collectors of the French series thus, this example boasts an exceptional amount of luster (particularly on the reverse), vivid golden-brown tone and splashes of vibrant teal in the legends. Louis's portrait is slightly softly strike but without wear or hardship. Of a rarely encountered quality.
