Louis XV Proof Ecu 1740-A PR63 NGC, Paris mint, KM512.1, Dav-1331, Gad-322. A striking first year of issue Proof featuring a finely rendered portrait of a middle-aged Louis XV, hair tied back in long elegant curls, with a superb degree of detail in all facets of the design - a feature only possible with a specially prepared issue such as this. The planchet displays a soft silver and graphite tone with a subtle pullaway effect at the legends and underlying reflectivity throughout. Extremely scarce, and likely to serve as an object of great pride in its next owner's cabinet.
