Louis XV gold Louis d'Or de Noailles 1717-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM428.1 (listed as 2 Louis d'Or), Fr-450, Fabre, Deswelle & Wattier-412. Despite its rather large diameter and odd weight (1.5 times the weight of the Louis d'ors which preceded it), this brief series, named 'de Noailles' after the chief financial officer of the time, is an interesting outlier and often causes much confusion as appearing more like a 2 Louis d'or rather than a single. As such, this makes it the heaviest in the single Louis d'or series. Supremely lustrous and choice, with a light orange tone sprinkled near the peripheries. A few adjustment marks are noted for completeness.
