Jean II le Bon gold Mouton d'Or ND (1350-1364) MS63 NGC, Paris mint, Fr-280, Dup-291. +ΛGn • DЄI • QVI • TOLL • PCCA • mVDI • mISЄRЄRЄ • nOB, nimbate Agnus Dei standing left, head turned right, long cross with banner behind; all within tressure broken by IOh' | RЄX below / XP'C ‡ VIИCIT ‡ XP'C ‡ RЄGИAT ‡ XP'C ‡ IMPЄRAT, cross fleury with lis in angles, within quatrefoil with lis in spandrels. Emission from 17 January 1355. A coin that resounds with fully choice quality, the iconic obverse and reverse motifs strongly benefitting from a markedly full flan that beams with luster. Though a minor flan undulation occurs beneath the Paschal Lamb, this is by no means a sign of bending or waviness to the flan, which remains even and unchipped. A coin which lacks not the least bit of detail, and one very nearly seeable in a finer technical grade.
