France
Louis XIII gold Louis d'Or 1640-A MS62 NGC, Paris mint, KM105, Fr-410, Gad-58. The first year of this short-lived "Short Curl" type, which began issuance as part of an endeavor to supplant hammered coinage with modern milled issues. Gently lustrous, with hearty coppery-golden tone and very little in the way of distracting marks.
