Louis XVI gold Louis d'Or 1786-D MS66 NGC, Lyon mint, KM591.5, Fr-475. An enticing jewel with vivid, yellow-gold surfaces that emit a tremendous amount of luster and expertly-detailed design motifs that have been fully rendered throughout. The fields are noticeably fresh and the reverse contains only a whisper of adjustment marks near the coat of arms. While finer examples of this coveted type likely exist, we would argue that the bold nature of this coin allows it to meet, or even beat its competition.
