Louis XVI copper Off-Metal Strike 2 Louis d'Or 1779-BB AU55 Brown NGC, Strasbourg mint, VG-65, cf. KM575.4 (for gold striking). A most peculiar off-metal striking of this already quite rare denomination, the flan silky and lustrous, though seemingly a bit undersized for the breadth of the dies, and a minor chip adding to its singular allure.
