Louis XVI gold Louis d'Or 1786-T MS66 NGC, Nantes mint, KM591.14, Fr-475, Gad-361. A superior gem marked by stunning mint brilliance that envelopes the raised design features, bathing the planchet in a degree of profound golden luminosity that can only accompany superior preservation. Well-struck for the type, with very little of the weakness that plagues this series observed, and an absolutely minimal level of adjustment to the central devices. Tied for the finest certified to date across both NGC and PCGS combined.
