Louis XIV Quadruple Piefort Ecu 1644-A AU53 NGC, Paris mint, KM-P63, Gad-201 (R5), Ciani-1843. 109.76gm. Edge: PONDERE SANCTVARI. A highly gratifying representative of this rare and desirable piefort. Struck in quadruple weight, this massive emission weighs in at nearly 110 grams. The surfaces are graced with an old-world cabinet tone that blends olive and steel coloration to engender a clear sense of originality and historical preservation. Further inspection reveals underlying luster that creates a glossy and semi-iridescent appeal, which, in conjunction with the overlying patina, results in a delightful expression of character. An outstanding specimen whose rarity is noted as "R5" in Gadoury, and one certain to elicit an abundance of interest among collectors.
