Louis XIV Ecu 1657-★V★ MS62 NGC, Saint Palais mint, KM180, Dav-3800. From a mint plagued by poor planchet preparation as noted by the significant adjustment marks typical to these issues. Regardless of this, the current specimen finds itself immeasurably scintillating, the as-struck portrait of the young king flanked by vibrantly toned legends, displaying the deepest of autumnal and iridescent hues. A rare treat this commendable.
