FRANCE. Franc a Cheval, ND (1350-64). Jean Le Bon. NGC MS-61.
Fr-279. A fascinating late medieval gold coin featuring a knight on horseback on the obverse, and a floriated cross within a quadrilobe on the reverse. Graded mint state, and most desirable thus. Some striking weakness on the horse noted, yet not surprising considering that the king was imprisoned in England, and the plague was decimating his nation.
Estimate: $1250.00- $1500.00
