Charles IX (1560-1574) gold Ecu d'Or au Soleil 1568-M AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Toulouse mint, cf. Fr-378 (for type), cf. Ciani-1345 (for obverse), Dup-1059 (same)/Dup-1057Bvar (for reverse). 3.34gm. By Jean Robert (R). (sun) CAROLVS • VIIII • D • G • F • REX • M • D • L • XVIII R, crowned royal shield / +XPS • VINCIT • XPS • REGNAT • XPS • IMPERE R •, cross fleurdelisee with M in center. A very peculiar and seemingly unpublished variety in the legends, the obverse matching a hybrid type recorded by both Ciani and Duplessy. This obverse also matches specimens sold by Jean Vinchon (30 May 2017 Auction, Lot 99) and cgb.fr (Mail Bid Sale 31, Lot 994), though the rendition of the word Imperat on the reverse of this specimen differs. Quite rare as such, and sure to appeal to the completionist collector of French hammered gold.
