Louis XV Proof Ecu 1740-A PR65+ NGC, Paris mint, KM512.1, Dav-1331, Gad-322, Sobin-Unl. A striking high-end example of this scarce Proof issue, the first in the series spanning from 1740 to 1774, featuring the beautifully coiffed, long-haired portrait of Louis XV. A display of needle-sharp detailing leaves no doubt as to the offering's special production, and the sheer precision of the strike renders the issue well beyond the expected quality displayed by the standard Ecu emissions of Louis' reign. Very nearly devoid of handling and decidedly gem in presentation, with argent luster that rolls across the fields upon rotation to reveal a potent undercurrent of lilac and gold iridescence.
