Louis XIV gold Louis d'Or 1650-F UNC Details (Obverse Scratched) NGC, Angers mint, KM157.7, Fr-418, Gad-245, Ciani-1787. Hailing from the obscure and relatively short-lived mint of Angers, which operated for only approximately 50 years before ceasing operations in 1661, this admirable representative displays a fully Mint State level of preservation. Well-struck with only a hint of rub over Louis' cheek, the devices otherwise sharp and held within fields expressing shimmering mint luster at every turn, coupled with a faint amber tone residing over the surfaces with fitting grace and visual splendor.
